In realms where power’s shadow deeply lies,
Justice falters, bound by cold, harsh ties.
Human worth, mere dust in tempest’s sweep,
Is cast aside, where tyrants’ promises sleep.
The throne’s ascent is built on silent cries,
While truth, in chains, beneath the surface lies.
Yet, whispers of the heart will never still,
For dust, though scattered, gathers by sheer will.
And from this dust, a storm of change will rise,
To tear the veil from power’s blinding guise.
Justice falters, bound by cold, harsh ties.
Human worth, mere dust in tempest’s sweep,
Is cast aside, where tyrants’ promises sleep.
The throne’s ascent is built on silent cries,
While truth, in chains, beneath the surface lies.
Yet, whispers of the heart will never still,
For dust, though scattered, gathers by sheer will.
And from this dust, a storm of change will rise,
To tear the veil from power’s blinding guise.
