Some Day


Some day leaders will rise to claim their rights and bring home their troops. They will, unite and fight against self-proclaimed rulers who know nothing of the country and raze Their forces to the ground to bring about a new age. Some day They will coward with fear and face Their trials with humility. They will pay for every last death made in return of Their greed. In Their selfish whims that brought the country down to its knees, begging for scraps from its allies. Pleading for help to the Others, for aid in overthrowing their dictator. Some day They will face exile, for death presents a route out. They will know of Their disgrace and live in hard times from it, for They will recieve no refuge for Their crimes. Some day soon, the people will rejoice for a newfound gift. They will speak their minds and walk around without fear of disappearing for one wrong misstep. A past of terror and anger falls down into the inkspots written of the country's dark age. It will step in line between long lost tales of ancient battles fought and the fictional stories of pioneers turning toward an unlit path.
