"You cannot stop history"


Poem Artwork

To My Smug and Smirking Masters

You can haunt and hurt and hate
Belittle me and judge me
But too little and too late
Now you can never budge me
For fate manages this stage
Nor can you eradicate
That which I leave behind me
You can never close this gate
My children will remind me
That long after I am gone
In a better brighter age
Truth and justice will live on
Past your impotence and rage

You cannot stop history
You are doomed to fail and fall
And you never will stop me
As I triumph after all

You imagine you have won
The people hate a bully
They will rise and turn on you
They will study war no more
Nevermore to be your slaves
They will win what I fought for
As the dead cheer from their graves
And you will never fully
Understand what hope can do
Until this good work begun
Which I undertake today
Will be done with you undone
When the stain is washed away

You cannot stop history
You are doomed to fail and fall
And you never will stop me
As I triumph after all
