Christuraj Alex Poet Quatern

When the whole world speaks

When the whole world speaks with one voice
though I'm true when they say I'm wrong
When I'm left with a narrow choice
Who is with me to make me strong?

Do you think that they're always right,
When the whole world speaks with one voice
When they take delight in their might
Should I be sad? Should I rejoice?

In their hearts and minds they're bourgeois.
But they say they live for the poor.
When the whole world speaks with one voice
Are they truthful in their heart's core?

They have killed Lincoln and Gandhi.
How they shrewdly maintain their poise!
Tell me, should I take things blindly,
When the whole world speaks with one voice

Valsa George November 11, 2025 at 11:38 PM Even if the whole world tells in one voice that your actions are wrong, if your conscience is clear, pay a deaf ear to what they rant. Goodness in people is never appreciated by a wicked world. Congratulations Chris on your win.
