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.

We have been lulled into thinking freedom is not fought by each of us who enjoy it.
