Resistance for a cause
Go the distance for a cause
Reject compliance
Refuse reliance
On unjust laws
Stand up for the weak
Defend the meek
Speak for the oppressed
And distressed
Be the voice they seek
Abandon a system that’s broken
Politicians say they have spoken
For you but their interests are more valuable
And that comes down to capital
Don’t fall for their cheap tokens
Resistance for a future
Go the distance for a future
Reject obedience
Proceed with expedience
From your mindlessly imposed stupor

Goddess
friendly shadows whisper to me
in the blue moonlight
I am drunk on the sweet smell of
your skin like honey and summer rain
I cry at the sun
recalling my worship like a dream

Paper can’t give validation
Not from station
Neither from rank
Nor sum in bank
Our validity is within
To our chagrin
Disparaging
Views from some sting
A framed marriage certificate
Is terrific
But can’t define
Your love or mine
