Underdog

[albay]

Nobody "likes" an underdog
like they like things like
mayonnaise or advertisements-
People crave justice,
They feel like it's the way
the story should go;
It's the way
They'd make it go
if they had a say...

All the world's stories of heroes and villains,
Caging pain and giant Boots in
the sky:
Are they untold?
Unheard? Ignored?
Maybe we all listened and decided,
calmly,
that justice subdued
was not worth the trouble
