This I pledge: To my peers, To my enemies, To my unborn children, To those who have left blood in the streets (And their better years unrealized), To my Mother, To strangers, To myself.
Yes, this I pledge:
I will be a warrior. I will charge at full speed, Without reservation, Having removed my brakes, Having cut holes in my safety net, Having burnt all bridges leading back to safety, I will rage and rally against injustice against oppression against empty stomachs against tear soaked pillows against razors stained by blood against those who hold open arms while exhaling poison against silence against apathy against the chains holding humanity down.
This I swear, This I promise, This I guarantee, This is my bond,
This I pledge:
That injustice and I shall be in constant battle. He will remain busy throughout the night and I will wake in a sweat and sprint from my bed only to return once I have been properly bloodied and removed a chunk of skin from the beast of oppression. Wake, repeat.
I will not be win. Defeat will not be defeated.
But, this I pledge: So long as I breathe there will be no peaceful coexistence between pointless suffering and my soul.
This I pledge: To give my life in this struggle, For you and you and you.
