.
Feel it, fuel a deeper glow
like the red rim on coal
stirrred into fire. Move fast!
Stake out a solitary space
deeper than the heart,
hotter than your withered
and aged passions.
.
A world revolts like hard
hate that schemes, defames
able arms aimed against
tyrants from the always
of history.
.
Like mothers who send
daughters and sons
to fields of battle, gear
up. Armies of takers,
disguised as pillagers,
are at the gate.
.
You are the many
and the only keepers
of courage, too long
dormant, who can become
again the valiant in victory.
Lots of ones make many.
.
Drum beats are for anthems;
feel the tempo of the times,
the throbbing anger against
evil rising. Time to relearn
devil-defiance.
.
Shake off ennui. Summon
all who somehow yet hold
faith with a long ago
covenant for good against
tyranny.
.
Look at the twisted
rust-gate too boldly
greed built and left to
guard a befouling few.
Break it down.
.
Feel it coming, see it,
then destroy the ills of
pervasive evil. Rise
and combat apathy's reign.
You must protect the names
if dusty freedoms in your too
long unspoken and undefended
beliefs.
