Analysis of Invisible Chains



Invisible chains bind us tight,
Injustice reigns with all its might,
The powerful prey on the weak,
And fairness seems too far to seek.

The scales of justice, tipped awry,
As inequality makes us cry,
A world divided, torn apart,
Where hope is crushed, right from the start.

But in our hearts, a fire burns,
A longing for the world's return,
To fairness, justice, and what's right,
Where all can stand, in equal light.
