I Stand Alone


Throughout history, there have been observers.

There have been overseers.

There have been sideliners.

I am.

The world moves on with constant motion.

Oppression running wild without submission.

But there are those who fight these notions.

I am.

In a country as free as this.

Who could guess such occurances exist?

Society puts on fake bliss.

I am.

With so many horrific activities.

Some try to oppose thus with speeches.

They are shut down by leader calls.

I am.

With one final shout, I stand alone.

I stand alone.

Alone.
