“Vae Victis" Written by R.J. Williamson What gods hast thou, that bow before the might of mortal men? Surrendered now in ignorance; enslaved before the pen Of magistrates and potentates less powerful than thee: What makers vested strength within the legs that bend the knee? What then of their countenance, their handiwork to see? Cry then! Cry out unto them and witness unto me! What chains and shackles hobble thee – what burden giveth pause? What fearsome power maketh thee unworthy of thy cause? What of the faith and principles thou surely must despise, To supplicate in deference before a throne of lies? Count for me the years before the soul of freedom dies. Art thou now a servant and a slave in thine own eyes? What fools are we, who in false grace before accusers bowed And in our hubris and our haste their tyranny allowed.”
