The Righteous Persevere (A Poem)

When kings administer justice,
The wicked live in fear;
But in said previous absence,
The righteous persevere.
So persevere we must,
In times of fervid distrust.
In cities of dark unrest,
The light is put to test.
Yet hope is in the knowing,
Proclaiming as we’re going,
That darkness cannot o’ercome,
Since Light’s vict’ry is past won.
