If you feel bereft of hope
In view of those who lead
Not by honor
But deceit;
Hold on to the voice of people
Rising
To relieve
Those who cherish false and greed
From the path of harm
They have conceived.
Be strong
Even as you are now
Understandably
Bereaved.
For there will be better days
Ahead
Where heart
Over current swamp,
Succeeds.
