Although cruelty abounds and the weight of life turns smiles into frowns,
Although kindness is often taken for granted, and kind people get hurt in the process, justice feels slanted.
Although most people aspire to climb higher, but a level of notoriety, society first requires,
I wonder, how experience can be gained without first given a chance?
I digress, it's a shame.
Although it seems like the honest one struggles, and the dishonest have weekly huddles
to keep a certain few down,
Arise anyway.
An oppressor's fate will always deliver its promise,
Some call it a word that rhymes with dharma,
It's antidote is more potent than the infamous "Big Pharma".
