let this miasma waylay
the flags unraised;
fight for variation
doubt your leaders
advance upon every
man woman and child
and impose your views-
drop their jaws and
let it force itself
down unsuspecting throats.

challenge reality.

change.

louden your voices;
leave laying the bricks.
attack with passion
fight in premature
self defense
make them believe
we know whats best
leave their ears
bleeding with truth.

avenge love.

change.

use your words
and build a monument
to language and culture-
topple the towers
forcing us to live
in shadows.
worship the sun
until we all have cancer
and peel back the skin;
show them your truth.

defend living.

change.
