Knives of Change

.........................We toil in the  
.........................mire of those  
.........................above in self-  
..........................proclaimed  
..........................Superiority  
.......But while they may hold our pockets hostage,  
......They will never own our passion, pain or desire  
...............They who are ever replaced with  
................only more of their kind -  their  
.................primary concern is continued  
.................suppression and attempts  to  
..................control our tired minds with  
...................propaganda never realizing  
...................they are so much weaker as  
....................our lives are tempered and  
.....................made stronger by the time  
......................and struggles  we endure.    
......................their attempts to silence  
.......................us only make us louder.  
........................Censorship  imposed  
.........................on us only makes us  
.........................unexpurgated  and  
 .........................we meet quietly in  
............................hidden shadows,  
.............................biding our time  
..............................for impending  
...............................revolutions,  
................................armed with    
.................................sharpened    
..................................poisoned                                                            
...................................daggers  
......................................soon  
.........................................!!
