The Tirade

Triumph of Hope
Rumbling of might
Progression of truth
The dawn of liberation
Together we fight
For knowledge and legitimacy 
We forego oppression
Physical at least
Not without education
Not without the pen
Not without paper
Then we can remain blind
But with these we fight
With these we become
With these we scream-
Scream to the ears of injustice
Scream on the face of impunity
With force and might
The pen presses on
The pen leaves permanence
The pen is unforgettable

Word on paper weighs tones
Three or two but can change a nation
Can set souls free
Incarcerated by senseless laws
Triumph of hope
With the might of my pen

However upright or perverse the words of the most delved conversations bear, same is the immediate society in its ways. Kali sana!
