The Contenders

 As Covenants forged or turned down,

See those Contenders fought for Crown;

No road left sequestered & serene,

Days turned to years, decades deracinating sheen.

Apart

Could be seen by wide open eyes,

But professed as though oceans apart;

Ersatz counters turned to claims,

So, awaited stranded in sulking dark.

Steps

The steps followed aleatory streets,

Also where diverse notions greet;

And where assembled proponents - 'High',

Defenders of path or acted in disguise;

Amplifier

Spoken or Written, authentic 'unaided' perspectives shouldn't crave for 'Number',

As 'How Many' absorbed or reverberated or overlooked or were put to Slumber;

Look around and witness, Everyone is an Observer - Insightful or Vile,

Streamed or Published what they actually Thought OR what their Masters Cried;
