THE CYNIC

I stand to speak for the Cynic,
considered short of society's sanity standards,
those who would have been lynched,
but not one stood to pelt them.

i stand to speak for the workhorse,
the burden laden,
the bearer of income tax,
the donkeys of VAT.

i stand to speak for the doomed,
the damned,
the forgotten,
the trodden.

majority is not always right,
they are sometimes a mob,
exercising their right to be stupid,
as envisaged in the constitution.
