Senses defeated; defile of insensible
are stepping boldly, with motives ostensible,
to take pledge upon our platform honorable.
List of agenda is: Power extensible!
Frustrations of the mass is just regrettable
with a history of deeds abominable.
Who to address in moments insufferable?
Despotism in democracy: deplorable!
We oppose their resolutions reprovable.
Stand up to make those imposed rules revocable
and join the minority for action noble.
Or bear now, cowardly, those dishonorable!

Senses defeated by the defile of insensible
Who stepped in with motives ostensible
To take pledge upon our platform honorable,
With list full of agenda for power extensible!
Frustrations of the mass just regrettable
Living consequences of action abominable.
Who to address in this moment insufferable?
Dictatorship in democracy, how deplorable!
Where to turn for their decisions reprovable?
How to make those imposed rules revocable?
Unfortunate for the majority lot expugnable,
Today innocents to pay what unacceptable!
Bear now one upon another, the dishonorable
Or stand up to end the conspiracy, if you’re capable.
Join today the minority of people with action noble!
