Overcoming

If not force, then strategy
But not just a speech prodigy
Talking about what is and what should be 
Against God and men you set yourself free 
Blaming and accusing 
Jeering and smearing 
After having been awarded audience 
You speak devoid of conscience 

Yes you are discontent 
And you want to vent 
Temporal relief is sure
But not so a lasting cure
But in enduring in observance 
You’ll find happenings within happenstance 
That can turn tables fast
And make first of those that were last

So, do we talk or remain silent?
Do we cause or wait for an event?
I say there’s time for everything 
And the exact time for the very thing 
Is for God to grace us with discernment 
A cause of action to alleviate the torment 
That our kin have always had to brace
With shame beyond saving face
