My name is PROTEST

My name is PROTEST

I’m the lifeblood of activism

The acid test for solidarity

The raucous echo of the oppressed

I vegetate on the soils of injustice

Conspicuous in clamours for human rights

United we rock, divided we’re mute

My breath oozes redress

My sweat drips of equity

I’m the river; whose tide surges

against the banks of tort

From the East, West, North & South

I’m Proof that power resides in the street

A kindred to revolution, I am.
