The injustice either hardens or breaks the human mind The mind must choose how to fight against the injustice The choice of non-violence is not a sign of weakness The knowledge of why you fight is more important than the fight The strength to suffer is the time between despair and triumph The ability to turn the other cheek is the holiest weapon The act of vengeance is the weakness of a human being The love for the wounded is the reason they follow you The memory of the dead is the passion to believe in the vision The revolution in you ends when you no longer hate a stranger

A Holy Revolution
Not a single drop of blood is spilled In the softest revolution, No one screams, or cries for freedom, In the softest revolution. No marching, no looting. No, not one sign. The burn is in the heart, The cry, a song in the fingers. Knowing eyes contain a symphony. A light that will not fade, In a storm of cacophony. A willful wildfire spreads. The revolution is forward motion. A chant for change, unyielding. A gentle refusal to bend when grasped, Spine made of steel, Skin armored with truth, Voice infused with lavender. The softest revolution arrives. It does not ask, it infiltrates. It smiles, and breathes, and holds the hands. As it shows the resistors how they fit. It does not conquer, it spreads. It’s not the fear that established the old way, Heavy, like a funeral for the self. When old patterns thin, Like threads in a vintage coat, And progress stiffens into place. There is new **** reducing friction. Perfection is no longer the goal. Precision becomes balance in motion: a rhythm of effort, a paradigm of care, a system of aligned momentum.

The Softest Revolution
Worrisome oaf Cradle of milk Hunted and bitten Snarl of ice Whispering dread Call again through the storm Deaden the chorus of hatred Retrieve us from our pouring lusts We know no other mother sir Please repeat your prayer My nose breaks as do my ears in the madness Deafening anger assaults back Taste is putrid waters of my own making I'm hurled in the advance Grasp my neck and cover my shame Pour your wisdom before our doors You, having escaped the rains
