you are a daring traveler
a dashing rebel
a darling critic
catalyst for change
i achieve a comfort and belonging
since i've found you
it's for you i was made
upon journeying the globe
you stand for the noble cause of justice threatening elite nobility
your shining presence alone
may in itself bleach certain evils
we both know by now
something's not quite right
where the banal security
of an unequal system
cannot remain
there is a moment coming
something of terrible importance
it´s certain
we remain curious though
in study of its trail
and unafraid of the natural
will thrive to survive
carry on our camino
in a steady cadence
toward the promenade of righteous rebellion
in protection of youth
elders
mothers
with sovereignty
over their sacred wombs and souls
1
we are of thick skin
yearning minds
abundant wells of passion and resolve
awaiting our purpose
amidst uncertainty
along the struggle to commit our purpose
and bend the path toward peace
not ahead but at its current course
we will not lay down
or step aside
when the moment comes
and the side streets gaze
in full awe, fear, and horripilation
as what's coming reaches here
we lasso our flame
in the imminent occurrence
conductor of history
etched in the pavement
we earned the reward
of stepping in
where others would pass
now eternally bound
in accordance with life
knowing solid matter may mutate
carrying others
so they may walk again
and dwell on the certain
beauty against their pain
