Should we fight?

For Freedom

For Equality

For Love

For Peace

For Justice

Fight to win?

For every winner there is a loser

For every loser sows a seed

From dark roots will grow

Another winner, another loser

I have slept in the dark

and awoken to the light

A revelation if you will

a sigh of relief, a day to live

Exercise freedom of the mind

Practice equality in daily labors

Share love without restraint

Make peace with the anger,

so anger may dissipate

Forgo the circus show,

allowing them to fall by their own hand

May justice be served by happiness abound

~ Camille Delaquise
