The ruddy little boy



Mashup - Queen + U2 - The Seas Have No Name

You the people have the power.  

 It ever was.  

 It ever shall be.

But it begins with the one

In Hollywood its easy. 
Captain Kirk
Captain America
Or
The ruddy little boy
Plain
Powerless
Dirty shirt torn
Rises
Before the bully
Smug and sullen
The boy has had enough
Fists
Of scared knuckles torn
Clutching nothing more than the truth
Whatever smile existed
Turned to a sneer
Despite fear
Despite the pain
Despite times struck down in the past
Through gritted teeth
Clenched Fists
Is that all you got?
Stare assures
Freedom and beauty will exist
Knock me down
I shall rise again
And
I might take you down
For
With the arrival of the dawn
Fear will die

Movement
Silent
From the corners they come
Steps slow
Fearful
Yet
Emboldened by the bravery
The defiance of the one
Denied too long the light
They joined
And the strength of the one
Became the strength
Of the many
With a hand outstretched
Join the revolution
