A Thousand Hopeless Braces
June 23, 2013
Suggest me a clause to unleash my pain
How ignorance creeps up to engulf in vain
Distorts the impetus I bear for change
Cripples it to hollow nothingness and drains
I seek to deliver my message out
To world to practice what thou
preach
You truncate budding fledglings and teach
That fools are we to follow the book's creed
Perplex me; oh compatriots!
Thy acts stand halfway thy laws
Astray I go in hours of wonder
A child like me quivers to grow
Out my seedling I'd have to bough
Alas! the dread; preference is now

I like how you have brought out the hypocrisy that exists in our country...i like the fact that the youth are aware of it, hopefully they are motivated enought to bring about a change, no matter how small it might be...
