My voice

I will not cower away,
while all the time
this game exists,
where lives
are played,
like disposable pieces
so undervalued,
and so dishonoured
I refuse to turn the other way.

I will not ignore
the many voices
that have gone before us
I can hear them still,
their call to action
their plea
to make sanctuary,
I am stronger
because of them
their energy
is held
within the earth.
I choose to tap into that
and take charge of my own free will.

What have I to lose?
what have I to gain?
this talk of ego
it puts one to shame.
I am more that just one person
I am linked with the stars,
with the earth
and the seas.
My visions and ideals run deep
I am not here to please,
those that think it is okay
to sit and wait
who think it is okay
to turn their heads
and walk away.
I take responsibility
for my actions,
for my deeds.
I am not to be contained
I am not one
to be preconceived
I am an original
just like you!

my choices and reasons
have carved out my way
they have led me towards
all that I seek to implement
all that I wish to envisage
and create this day.
