๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐๐จ๐๐ฆ:
Men in power desire a singular purpose
A unified path for all who serve
Questions are unwelcome
And observing how
Or it still requires transformation
And is discouraged
The current powers
Aims to decide
Which narratives are preserved
And which voices are amplified
Strongman hands
Have always sought
To silence voices
To close minds tightly
To erase thoughts
They could not control
Truth is feared
More than any war.
