Soul Life Freedom
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.

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
