Dignity

No conquest is accompanied by dignity

When it comes through aggression, not sympathy

Freedom is replaced, by dependence on charity

The once rich, live on a promise of prosperity

Dignity is under the safeguard of the peaceful

Who gain in strength, when others see them as feeble

The land the size of our feet can’t be called our own

We are indebted to time, it’s an unforgiven loan

When uniforms clash, humanity dies

The battleground is insulated from its innocent cries

The real fight isn’t outside, it is inside

Until we give up greed and pride

Dignity works with the mind and heart

In letting each freely do their part

When we are the dignified silent observer

The search ends and we become the treasure
