Insignificant One

By Rowan

Frustrated anger ruining my carved face,
want for a new beginning surrendered.
Suffering in my disillusioned place,
my final stand against you rendered.

Power free in ranks of forged steel,
a mold rarely broken by majority vote.
Complain of uneven spokes in the wheel,
when we created the bumps in the road.

Flags pinned on deceptive black suits,
voids in truths from honored voices.
Virtuous souls centuries mute,
cornered and enslaved by our own choices.

Limit my speech to but an hour past,
others next with the same mindless chatter.
Speed steadily through concerns amassed,
the likes of which show to you no matter.

Destroy my hope for a future in just,
murder my will and force me still.
Insignificant one silenced with mistrust,
my--our freedom you have killed.

    Intense write Rowan, I don't see why you would change it, it's perfect the way it is. Insignificance would be a cause for such frustration, I really enjoyed this, thanks. Scholar

    This is by far one of the best poems I've ever read on here, I felt the pure rage in almost every line and every word hit hard and spot on target, I couldn't stop reading, such a heart-pounding race that it was addicting, thanks for the amazing write Rowan. Scholar
