A Call To Action

Rebellion and riverbeds start to dance 
with a rush flowing, slowing, then stalling. 
Both try perilously to gain traction,
the current is treacherous take a stance.
It may appear that you’re barely crawling,
and then brute force takes over a fraction. 
At times the first step is all you can do
but it’s enough to get something going. 
Often a change can stem from infraction,
that desire to disrupt springs a call to
                       action.
