Behold Humble An Enlightened Soul

Great King coronation crowned in glitter robes
encrusted in diamonds rubies sapphires emeralds
horror crimes injustices of your reign disturbs

Great President basking in television scripted glories
rising on obligation back of pledged campaign funds
invasions tortures public executions litter black ops

rare photojournalist writer etch pain truth image integrity
take our hands lead us reveal war crimes vile inhumanity
transform prisoner torture centres into hospitals sanctuary
