Truth and Consequences

Belarus protestors hold sign saying 'Proud of the people, ashamed of the government'.

For every action there is an opposing reaction

there are penalties to be paid for the invoking 

of honour, truth, justice and freedom

mere inconsequential words like human rights

to those who dispense with the pretence

they bear any responsibility to uphold

universal laws of right and wrong for to

them there is nothing wrong with their

decisions affecting untold lives of others

and everything right about accruing to

themselves the power to do as they wish

an extension of which is to punish those

with the unmitigated gall and naive intention

of holding them to account. It is the young

with their visions of idealism imbued with

the fervour of righteousness who march and

protest on behalf of the silent majority who

fear the consequences of opposing tyranny.
