Veterans

Calling upon the unspoken words
A requiem for inductees who
Fought a good fight
Exaltation for their Excellency
They are valiants

Through retain canon of slavery
They swallowed their pride,
Learnt to pretend and enjoy
That it shall come to pass 
And spin the wheel of civilization

Through sealing in the searing and
Withering maximum prison
They had a stone hope
That it shall come to pass
Tomorrow shall come for liberation

Through the wail of molestation
They became cognizant of time
That everything is about time
Only time will tell
Surly they span the wheel of fortune
