Derek Noble Ayi Poet Free verse

The Truth

My voice quivers as I speak,
The deep thoughts about what I stand for.
Thinking about how I can save or destroy a neighbour .
I am dumb like a sheep sent to the slaughter house . 
I stand in the middle of the road motionless.

The truth, the truth.
What can be the truth ?

Tears flows speedily from my eyes.
I am bold now to stand tall.
I shall speak the truth.
Many enjoy their dark moments.
The rich ride on the poor.
The rich envy the truth . 
Victory now rest in the home of the poor.
The truth shall always be alive.
