A rebel breath from a lung,
Complimented with the tongue.
Affecting change,
Provoking thought,
A lyrical reign,
Where wrongs are fought.

A yell from the loin
Or a cry from the eye,
Noticed you will be.
Encouraging or maddening
Depending on what it is they see.

Rally around the sound
Of strong opinions
Where strength is found.
Feeding your freedom
To feel what is right,
By preaching these feelings
And abstaining
To stay quiet.

Gather around the crowd
Of a million voices in unison.
A million voices loud and proud
United in their resolve to cause
A change that warrants the call of all.
Show yourselves for who are
And yell your message from afar.

Remain steadfast
In your mission for a change
But stay mindful
Not to proclaim a doused flame.

Should tragedy befall you
And strike your tongue,
Pierce through your throat
And rip through your lungs,
Do not panic and quietly flee
But stand tall and embody dignity.
You can not speak but you have a voice.
Manifesting one resides in choice.
