i said i'm right
But no one heard me
My path belongs to light
But they'll kill me
I was a witness but it wont count
their gods are of lies but truth comes around
The day they laughed at my weakness
they hid their cowardice
when they mocked my humility
they proved their malice
their trees bear fruits of spite and hate
crumbling saplings at an alarming rate
I'll tell you the story, pray listen
But it wont help if tears glisten
I saw a cruel deed and i spoke
I spoke to reveal their master stroke
They killed hope in its purest form
they plunged into its heart a thorn
the girl was young innocent alone
her dreams through her her dark eyes shone
They surrounded her in sinister desires
yto cool their savage apirit of fires
now im in front of you
listen to the truth and act, i beg you.
dont let the single voice of reason
die, dont replace it with treason
you are men of honour, courage and wisom
dont bow your head in might's kingdom
so what they are large in numbers
salvage the truth before it crumbles
they stand with their riches beauty and false standards
remove the curtain theyre coward monsters
let the halls of justice not be maligned
let your children see how truth you define
let not our past our present betray
let the path of might not lead us astray
let no girl with hopes agin be crushed
let her innocent dream not be hushed
let men be honoured only by truth
let us be deaf to the language uncouth
let us forge a heart of steel
let no one our right to speak steal
let us grow a tree of respect
let us an honest world beget
let no witness be woeful like me
let not the violent soul go free
let us sing tales that inspire
let each spirit have a spirit to inquire
i rest my case your honour
now you decide, what you honour.
Honour is in doing your duty truthfully. I am reminded of the lines from the poem An essay on man by the great poet Alexander pope

Act well your part, there all the honour lies.
Fortune in men has some small diff`rence mad`
One flaunts in rags, one flutters in brocade;"
