It’s not about the panegyric moments illuminating each word
Delivered with a stylish accent amidst applaud and propaganda
The demure, diligent, and defiant- an uninspiring combination
Of the austere truth, speaking in a void, but resiliently escapes
From the fraudulent frequency spectrum of amplified anarchy
Where there is scant determination, but persistent intimidation
Once there dwelt such trustworthy voices; now only fancy eulogies
Ungentle leaning towards the unprincipled world of purchased fame
