It was the eve of my solar return
The air was thick and the Sun burning down
My boots and jacket an unmistakable light in the darkness of the street
We marched forward till the light left me
The cloth waved in the air striking the minds of the people who passed by
The cloth stained with assertions of Justice and Peace
This was a protest, the protest of Government Street
We took a stand as the time passed us by
Cars and fellows honked and waved singing their alibis
A better world without the weight of these fumes
A better world with fresh water to consume
As the sweat streamed down my face I confronted the centuries old rat race
Revolutions, Protest, and Unrest never do a thing but show who’s toughest
Which area and who’s community is under neglect?
On the eve of my solar return
I made Justice my project
