The System in Reverse, a Poem by Oana Ileana Noorani


I've grasped, beyond the surface's disguise, There lie morbid truths beneath the mighty's rise.

Tangentially I find myself in a cause with effect,

Seeking through truth, to justice I connect:

Inestimable values among traits align,

Towards a new paradigm, loftily they climb.

True worth in the free human through objective lens,

As long as one's alone, their thought pretends.

I will not scorn the significance of being near To life that surrounds me and prompts the quest so dear,

Structurally I build within a system's act, Yielding at last a coagulated fact.

Distortions widely have been deeply set, But right by right endures, and justice leads the bet.

Through variability it shows, beyond all contrasts here.

Within us lies a constant, equal to a peer's career.
