Once we would dare to look
closely into the mirror Unfulfilled we sought answers,
but found only ailment
We perceived the lie we were
being coerced into perpetuating
Became aware of the greed filled
force that was gaining control over us all
Felt a shock that was brought on
by blatant corruption
Panicked once realizing that so
many were turning a deaf ear to our cries for
justice
Enraged we vied time and time
again to speak against the unscrupulous
Our response was ought but a
misplaced reaction
We made unfortunate alliances,
employed means for which we condemned others
Many of the faithful were false,
not truly focused, using us to gain power
When the fog cleared, many of our
heroes were in the grave
We became more confused than
ever
Unable to endure the pain of our
failure, we became disillusioned then dormant
Surrendering to the established
regime, we became and remain in culture shock
