Defiance

Defiance

 

In the end,

when the conflicts still rage

and the army of bots descend

upon my presence on the stage

I’ll speak my mind so that it’s clear

I’ll not be quiet, nor desist,

I’ll be more determined, persevere,

raise my resolve and raise my fist.

I’ll not go into that censored night

nor will I change my view

when nations unleash their might

to bomb, invade or stage a coup.

I’ll battle where that evil has sprung

a field where every man should

condemn those that slaughter the young

embrace community and all that’s good.
