the dilemmas...

of broken dreams...
of broken hearts...
of moments gone by...
of moments that never really were...
this is to those unspoken souls...
who toil aimlessly...
feeding on their misery...
wasting away...
who have limited access to life...
who serve...
who are harrassed and bullied...
made to forget that they too belong to our race...
those are our unspoken heroes...
who honestly make the world go round...
who pamper you...
who are on the receiving end of the brunt...
always smiling...
never daring to wish...
thankful...
who know not what lodging a complaint is...
who dare not stand out...
or be different God forbid...
for whom, three meals are a luxury they cannot comprehend...
we live amongst them...
but are we blind?
have we lost our souls?
are they the ones really suffering?
is money the only objective left?
we turn to the higher echelon when we are troubled...
but only then...
so who are we?
did we lose our perspective...
where there is no honor amongst thieves...
where the biggest bullies are indeed the most revered if not respected...
is this who we are?
why?
i am ashamed...
of who i am...
of what i stand up for...
of what i SHOULD stand up for...
someday...
i will stand up...
this is to courage...
to pioneers who dared to be different...
who never overlooked their principles...
sometimes taking the easy way out is a gross mistake...
this is to peace...
i do not want more wars...
we are ravaged enough as it is...
our soul is all but lost...
let's make a difference...
so stand up...
because that is the only way to live...
this is to my dilemma...
