manifesto for a cause.

we will stand upon the ocean, and dance across the land.
we will draw plans for revolution across the blank white sand.
beneath my dark blue eyes, i have realized that change will be slow to come.
there will be a time when all i want to fight for will be memories.
i will not live to see this time.
it is long coming, but hopefully my children's children will see it.
they will see economic equality.
they will finally see the absence of racism.
they will grow up and nourish their minds and their souls.
they will live independently.
they will be at peace with all others around them.
there will be a time, sometime, someday, long after i die, when my cause will be a memory.
people will look back and realize the accomplishment made not by me, but all of us.
it will take all of us, together.
we will be a unified-front.
but we will not forget our souls.
we will not shy away from the infinite power that we have.
this is a perpetual fight.
we will throw stones, we will break down barriers.
we will make some sort of difference.
the things that we are made of will be what we bring to the table.
this will be published as a sort of manifesto.
it is here to make sure that our ideas are not forgotten.
it is here to remind us constantly.
for the life of me, we will make a difference.
it is in our nature.
we will strive for excellence.
we will strive for equality.
we will strive to make sure that our lives are not dilluted.
we will be pure.
together, we will all stand.
with our ideas, we will bring a wave of change.
it will silently sweep this nation.
it will slowly creep across the world.
remember, we must start small though.
we cannot learn to walk before we can crawl.
take heed, for the fight will not be easy.
there will be clashes.
there will be deaths.
the powers that be will try to supress us.
be vigilant. we have the power.
it was stated, but must be reitterated, that this will not come to a quick ending.
it will take time, and will not finish until we are long gone.
we will pass this on to our children.
it will be sustenance for their souls.
if you are in this, you are in this.
invest your hearts and minds in this cause.
it will be one worth dying for.
i am invested.
i am willing to lay down and die for this.
if you are with me, you are with me.
if you are against me, you are with me.
