Awake All Night

Watching a beautiful sunrise,
between giant trees,
early in the morning.

I pledge, that being human
is no excuse to send back
oppressive insults received

and loose all dignity,
of what I strife to be.
No more.

The solution of confusion
and how to keep what I value
always comes unexpected and surprising.
