Realize

Welcome few to perfect view
Of my demise
Where every eye is wary by
What I advise
To all of them who did pretend
That I’d revise
You will see that I was right
To realize

My story is not here for you
To justify
But to understand the ways of how
To mollify
What has been wronged and rightly
Vocalize
The opinion of yours that is greatly
Disguised

I tried to stand with those of you
Who victimize
I couldn’t help but notice that we
All comprise
Of what we loath and often long
To minimize:
The unchangeable ability
To realize

I wanted to know the terms of
Every compromise
To unwind the clue of all
Essential exercise
And to remedy man’s folly and
Internalize
Hopes of others’ than of those
Who vandalize

My will was shaken when they
Came to utilize
Their new and improved tactic
Of compromise
To hush my voice and hopefully
Maximize
Support for the cause they intended
To idolize

I stood, till the death, my ground
Opposing genocide
Willing every soul to be washed
In the tide
Of penance for their awful deeds
Of homicide
And to open their eyes and hearts
To realize
