A Dark Conclave

His
own ideas he'd post, mainstream thoughts critique
An
immigrant, he thought he had freedom of speech
He hadn't realized the unwritten protocol he should never breach
The
rulers conspired behind cloistered walls,
They
saw in him danger; their tyrant’s call.
A
cabal of shadows with power amassed,
Turned
whispers of free thought to daggers cast.
“Look!
He shows anger; he swerves past the lines,”
Circus
of scoffers carved tales from mere signs.
With
fabrications that flourished like weeds,
They
spun him a villain from innocent seeds.
A
700-page tome on a life lived so small,
An
absurdity penned by those holding pall.
Though
rashness was but a fleeting endeavor,
Harm
and intent lay unburdened forever.
Neighbors
who knew him spoke stories true
Among
them he labored and raised children too.
But
under the enforcers' gaze, all warmth turned to cold;
Fearing
their fate if his truth were told.
So
they sent forth Dronehmer—harbinger dread,
To
silence the voice that refused to be fed.
An
average man cast as the enemy foul
In
justice’s cloak lay a sinister scowl.
Jeffrey Dronemehr grinned with glee,
A reaper dark cloaked in apathy.
For every drone that
sings its song,
A family weeps;
brutality's throng.
Angry winds carry
screams unseen,
Echoes of pain—the human
machine.
And now this minority man must weather these storms conjured high,
Beneath the
vengeful drone ridden sky;
Yet
still in dark corners his spirit ignites
Resilient threads woven through sleepless nights.
