It was a time of long lost dreams,
unraveling were freedoms’ seams.
Though not lost, had almost vanished,
all in silence, suffered anguish.
Then, seemingly, without a means,
the people did begin to lean.
So gentle was their weight not thrust,
a kindly wind which gave no gust.
Their strong, formidable voice heard,
nations’ majority, assured.
