Classic Poem

You are nothing but a shadow
of the man you used to be.

Something unknown hollowed you.

Where are your principles
to struggle against the abuse of power?

To defend the underdog?

Where are your convictions in
liberty, equality and fraternity?

A better future for all?

Where are your ideals
in your words and actions?

To achieve beauty and truth?

Where are those promises
to guard the interests of the voiceless?

On whose behalf you speak?

Where is your courage,
to stand up against the wrongs?

Where is your zeal to serve?

You have sold your soul.

You are nothing but a shadow
of the man you used to be.
