All for None

When Liberty,

Both fickle and stoic,

Masculine and feminine,

Tired and unfailing,

Ceases to exist—

Like a candle, lit precariously,

Tottering on the aged wood

Of its birthplace,

Its foundation,

Its backbone,

Its platform for change—

Revolution rises.

Bold-faced, blunt,

****** beautiful.

A fist pumping in the silent air,

As all heads turn

And, as one,

Blow out their Liberty.

All for none.

None for all.
