The Activist
Prologue
There isn't a set of guidelines to being an activist
There are those prone to violence, anger, and bloodshed, the antagonist
Riots, destruction, and brutality
However, for their goal, do these methods work in reality
Contrarily, out of the spotlight, seen only when sought out
Are the peacemakers, yes, that’s what he is about
Armed only with intelligence and passion
Molotov cocktails, guns, and fists prove unnecessary for his satisfaction
His weapon of choice, a fiery heart
His cause, “Black Lives Matter!” never willing to part
Skillful with diction, his brain a most prized possession
Determined to free these people from unfair suppression
Speaking his mind on a daily basis
Yet staying humble, not overwhelmingly ostentatious
Toiling restlessly to reach his objective
Would you be able to see from his perspective?
Surrounding himself with a community sharing the same conviction
Power in numbers, in this case, a very true prediction
A tender-hearted fellow, it’s evident to see
His only wish, to spread equality
