Injustice Accepted

"An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"
----------------------------------------------------


I accepted an injustice
I let it all go ..
'cause sometimes in life
You just have to say NO.

Was i right to accept what i did?
To save my own skin ?
To remain silent through it all ?
When i wanted so badly to speak ?

You were the one in power ..
The one who held the reins ..
But i have no respect ,
For a character so suspect .

I don't know why you did it ?
Don't know why you lied ...
Maybe what you did was meant to break me
But believe me you couldn't even shake me.

No ..the humiliation you bestowed
Has only given me new Hope
For its people like you I hate
The ones who misuse power and spread hate.

I know I degraded myself
To have reacted the way I did
Out of sheer shock to your lies,
To myself I've now apologized.

Every coin has two sides
And from this now i know ,
Many things about you -
And few others who put on a show.

No - I've learned my lessons
What you did i may have forgiven
But believe me when I say that-
I shall never forget.

You're still the one in power ,
You may try to hurt me more
'm up for it ..For you I do not rate
You are nothing great .. enough said .

I accepted an injustice
I let it all go ..
'cause sometimes in life
You just have to say NO.

Do not make a habit of accepting injustice...stand up and shout for what you believe is true...dear...even if it means being at loggerheads with a man in power...

if i was in your position i would not accept the injustice.
raise your voice against it...
it could cause a direct,face to face bawal...
but you would not get such a pain for such a long time.
