The Gadfly - Helion Prime

Another socialite elected in to reign

Another gross injustice suffered to enable

This olden postulation bred by disdain

The moral of a mighty fist must be forsaken

They live their lives concerned with subjugation

Useless in their own naivety

And for honor

I’ll make them look into the mirror

How do you sleep at night entangled by these chains?

The unexamined life is hardly worth the labor

So many questions sleeping soundly in your head

It takes a thoughtful mind to answr them instead

For though you claim to know the truth

Surrounding your existence

To know that you know nothing makes you wise

So I’ll play the role of the gadfly

As I continue to find

My way towards the light

Of virtue and grace

I learn to embrace

This momentary life

For everything I’ve realized

Will aid me, assuage me

For the day I die

Undaunted by sentence to go towards the river

I walk like a soldier to war

No promise of freedom can ever be made

For my prison will always remain in life

So with honor and valor my ally

I’ll play the role of the gadfly

As I continue to find

My way towards the light

Of virtue and grace

I learn to embrace

This momentary life

For everything I’ve realized

Will aid me, assuage me

Make certain my legacy

As moral compass, I fight

To sway the minds of the titled on high

And with a sip of this blight

I will uphold what I know is right

For on this day, I die

(On this day I die!)

I’ll play the role

I will uphold

I’ll fight the good fight

For on this day, I die
