Stand

[Dj13Francis]

I wrote this today. Sixteen lines of 7 or 8 syllables each. And somehow it pretty much says it all... All your thoughts are welcome.


Stand


When the voice of reason gets

Shouted down by angry mobs

Angry due to rising prices

And the lack of decent jobs

Hordes of people in a frenzy

Stoked by ignorance and fear

Evil forces stop the spread

Of wisdom that they need to hear

When the chaos all descends

I hope that you will keep in mind

More than money is at stake

It's the future of mankind

Those of us who speak the truth

Must stand together and stand fast

Or the world that humans know

Becomes a relic of the past
