CRUSHED SPIRITS

OPRESSION BACKFIRES

Oppression is by no means a force of control,

it belittles and degrades another mans soul,

when pushed too far, it will surely explode,

as the nation comes forward to drop its load.

Man's spirit is crushed as he's pushed to the ground,

he may stay down where lethargy and spite is found,

lack of interest shows in all his labour,

as there is no joy that he can savour.

Oppression doesn't care what it does to a nation,

turning it into a cesspool of bitter degradation,

helpless and tormented they go through each day,

without any desire to improve on their way.

The mindset becomes one of anger and revenge,

wanting to even the score becomes immense,

they break and destroy wherever they go,

as an entire nation falls to a darkened flow.
