Protesting Truth Speaks

I see liberal action out marching 
In protest against an elected body 
Hypocrites who hold no value 
hitting a raw nerve highlights 
in their own country of choice

Freedom is being turned upside down 
judged and brought into law 
corruption against the holy script 
criminals dressed as victims attack democracy

Directly as proficient liars are exposed daily 
tearing down human rights of the just

Unholy morals has no grounds to speak or act 
our liberty is of moral choice
We are silenced to accept certain agendas 
under good conduct hidden views against truth 
revealing a deep upset knowing it carries hurt

A secret pains honesty 
in reverse unfolding one dark spot 
at the crossroads 
The true cards
if they were laid clearly upon the table 
Correctly baring 
they would instruct the ignorant 
into the marrow of the bone 
undressing such a source 
that remains completely blind

Truth... is a lonely word...One removed from our vocabulary and seldom hear...A poem that reflects the trends of a governing body whose purpose is to hide it...

You are right Liam, sad state of affairs, but it is something that has been happening over time, I think more people are awake today than before.. Although social media has it's vices, it also has it strenghts and that is speaking the truth.. Great poem, we should all be free and awake...
