When Men Force Their Rule (Rhyme Royal) Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

When men force their rule with arrogant pride,
Subdue countries with intimidation,
They just show the world what they are inside.

Defiance will rise - for men are born free-
Against those who control their liberty.

Opposite forces will birth resistance,
Oppression and blind faith don't stand a chance.
