Empires built on brick of hatred leaves man abhorred Unfit to articulate Unmuted too late Reaped loss that I could not afford Towards recovery from all apathy With more questions to answer, More answers to seek Contrite It's how I feel Out of line of sight Fears stay concealed United we stand, divided we fall This gold hand abandoned, Now will you heed the call?
