ACTS OF SET

Far before these days,

Rouse up a man

Claiming to be a poet,

Read by a multitude.

He has created tension,

To many society sinners,

Pointing fingers from all angles.

Asking why he writes them.

He tells us to keep away.

From this men of fingers

For there undertakings,

He wrote to us.

They can not be overthrown,

But if it is God,

He will set them free again,

And instill acts of faith in them.

NOTES

The poet feels hated and tells the general society to keep away from any form of evilness and from those doing wrong in the society. As stated in the second stanza. The poet has not mentioned any evil vice in the poem but he has done it in other poems example "ELITES OF TODAY".
