Power To the People

Power to the people ????
By Lady Arabella 
What do you do when you know somethings not right?
Where does your response take you is it fight or flight? 
Do you stand your ground or just walk away?  
Allow tomorrow to just be the same  or make a path for a  new way?  
 Do you stand tall and make sure the voice of those left behind remains  heard 
Do you battle and challenge decisions made that are so obscured 
Or do you stay silent due to fear of repercussions 
If not you who else will have those discussions ? 
Even though when you raise your head you still remain unheard 
At least you stood up and spread the word
You see .. 
To be an advocate is something so profound 
As sometimes others stand by and don’t make a sound 
But you’ve got to stand up in order to be heard 
Hold those accountable for their choices even if your voice is discouraged and deterred
Without people who stand up and fight for what’s right 
There’s no way when  dawn breaks it casts new light 
So don’t be afraid to speak and not let those above divide the  truth 
 Gone are the days of   “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
look into justice's beautiful face, balance the scales and remind them it’s time to balance out the power 
  Stand up don’t sit down ..Speak  louder let them know you will not hide and cower
