Poem
I have always stood up for good and right. I can understand how challenging it is when you stand alone and are vilified by those who want the darkness to win. However, if each one of us stands together for love, light, good and right, we can become a tsunami throughout the world. May Light prevail against the Dark. We are all souls, united together. Blessings. Soul.Life.Freedom. By Michelle Morris 26/12/2022 Today I was an activist I stood up for what was right I didn't do it through a petition I didn't do it through a fight I humbly gave my voice To where there is a dire need No need for paint on canvas No need for protests in the street The quiet, calm voice of poetry Using words as the strongest weapon For anyone of intellect knows That words live beyond oppression The greatest warriors and kings That ever lived among us Learned that words have power They create the greatest magic This doesn't mean that protest Or destruction has no merit It merely is a reminder that words Outlive every regime and warfare To stand up for the good To stand up for integrity To stand up for humanity To stand up for liberty I may never know those people Whose rights and life I support But like a pebble on a pond I know the ripples will flow forth And may these ripples of right and good Flow through every heart and mind And touch each living soul 'Til we remember our connection to the divine For we are all connected We are all one heart And what we do to one We do to every part Each of us can feel it Deep within our soul So denying the darkness is there Won't ever ease the whole Collectively we must rise Collectively we must do good Collectively we can do better Collectively we can heal humanhood Today I was an activist As I have always been Please join me in this quest For we can all do the right thing Let's stand up for right each time Let's do it as part of our nature Let's create the strongest voice Of humanity's love and light in action Woman.Life.Freedom. Human.Life.Freedom. Soul.Life.Freedom. © Michelle Morris, 2022
