Image for the poem strive

strive

 
in the internal struggle
we all feel the heat of rebellion
a new world assaults our senses
still heads down optimistic we walk on
everything we know is changing
I wonder will it be permanent?

riots in the streets
politics of the season in our faces
pawn to bishop five
your rook just ate shit
calculate your next move

take all from me
you can't take my faith
you can't take what is homemade in a soul
it'll bend but it won't break
it has a power all its own to defy logic

indignity, indignation rise peoples
let your voices be heard
on this absurd stage
make changes in a positive fashion
come on people be about something

let the universes know
we're here, coming on strong with power
let the stars rain down on us
shoulder to shoulder we stand true
hope shakes foundations
