damnation, explosive words flew
a misplayed hand...
a breaking story, in the news
a people caught up ...in the moment...
expressed, their heartfelt views...
truth was ...at the forefront
of tides of history, turning fast...
such people, tired of being abused
spoke out with ...outrage...
carried with the burden...
long endured
and so, lit the fuse...
a stage of evolution...
long overdue...
elevated, the heartbeat of the struggle...
in a tidal wave, moving people to rise
raise their sights...
higher,
inspired, in the possibility
...of a miracle... worth fighting for
twas... now or never,
to be delivered...
only, right
the mold was cast...
with so much grandiosity...
moving speeches, defiant marches
and parades set the stage,
the mold was cast...
although, revolution was in the air...
a spark was needed
lest the moment of potential ...pass...
unheeded
within every heart, a leader awaits...
positioning for a fight
clueless, without a plan,
resistance alone
was going nowhere fast
brave souls,
throw themselves deliberately into battle
into the killing fields they pour
rubber bullets fly...
like snowflakes driven by the wind
chemical attack, burning eyes, labored breathing
people,
even children present, suffer...
some fall...
others are taken away, beaten
as the numbers ...rapidly mount
still...
they will not turn back
not, now...
not..
ever.
