ode to a revolutionary

ode to a revolutionary
battle weary but not broken
still possessing the fire
that burns with the fervor of history

Such is our historical task
for though unknown
we are not alone
By our pledge we have become
a part of the nameless mass in their struggle to be free
what we stand for shall not die
even if we are forgotten
we shall live on in the cries
for justice
for freedom
for truth

our voices will be heard in all its resonance and
one day it will rise in a crescendo
a rising tide of discontent
that will drown all those who did not dare to
swim against the tide
it will shake the foundation of everything
that was built on lies
until all that is left is the beginning of a new day
