We live in a land of contempt
Where respect is exempt
Where a belief is held
That there is no reason to Rebel
Rebellious fools end up dead
As the voices whisper with dread
As they are silenced and fed
Lies and promises instead
Liars look on with broken ideals
As they look at others as inferior beings
As they stand so high and mighty
Renegades stand against society
Betrayal and deserters they stand for whats right
As they are pitted against their own in a fight
The liars stand behind their wall
Watching as their own people take the fall
Treasonous cowards, disloyal fiends
Dishonest fighters, faithless murderers
They are made into criminals bound for the gallows
Waging horrific war against their own brothers
Corruption hides within cruel asylum
Time passes, ignited sparks forgotten
Criminals spilled shame, abandoned honor
Against the liars of righteousness
On tattered parchment, words between stains
Written in a common language, crimson pain
Never confessed, the crime of oppression
Dying flame flickered, silencing defiance

I found this on my news-feed. I wrote it back in 2015. I didn't really remember writing it, and it pretty bad so I tweaked it a little.
