SETTLING SUBVERSION

I arose at the very moment
You were about to destroy
Our eyes met
You knew, I knew
The blame you assigned
To the one who responded in disgust
Knows your plan, knows your game
You believe the "little ones"
Belong to the one who takes life
But today...at the precise moment
You encountered TRUTH
She didn't bow
TRUTH stood in her fullness
And I released all debt
Previously assigned to a goat
I AM HUMAN
And you...you are a thief
