What must a man do, when the world fails him- <br />Lest, he believe that the same, assails him? <br />For shame world that hath 'tread on me'! <br />Thou should have counted instead, on me! <br /> <br />The last word shall be mine, this I assure thee; <br />I shan't allow this injustice now before me! <br />I shall do what my heart tells me I must- <br />Because, in this, and only this, I lay my trust! <br /> <br />This scourge, lo, this cancer <br />Demands a swift answer; <br />I should not have to feel inferior- <br />As though the 'system's' motives are ulterior! <br />A price need be paid, and a lesson, learned! <br />This is my inherent right, not just what I have earned! <br /> <br />Maurice Harris,3 March 2010<br /><br />Maurice Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-last-word-10/
