Abhay Kumar - Shadow of the Past

You are nothing but a shadow <br />of the man you used to be. <br /> <br />Something unknown hollowed you. <br /> <br />Where are your principles <br />to struggle against the abuse of power? <br /> <br />To defend the underdog? <br /> <br />Where are your convictions in <br />liberty, equality and fraternity? <br /> <br />A better future for all? <br /> <br />Where are your ideals <br />in your words and actions? <br /> <br />To achieve beauty and truth? <br /> <br />Where are those promises <br />to guard the interests of the voiceless? <br /> <br />On whose behalf you speak? <br /> <br />Where is your courage, <br />to stand up against the wrongs? <br /> <br />Where is your zeal to serve? <br /> <br />You have sold your soul. <br /> <br />You are nothing but a shadow <br />of the man you used to be.<br /><br />Abhay Kumar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shadow-140/
