Unshakable
The leaves are slightly ripening
Signaling that fall is slowly approaching
Summer is still burning hot
and mutiny is fading on the rock
I quickly quell the silent fire
with something that is solid sound and proper
I have been quiet for many days
listening to what the Gods have to say
They have given me a prefect answer
so stay out of my blooming way
and stop spreading propaganda
Your negative prediction will never transpire
I couldn't bear to listen to the tittle-tattle
I was musing all over and rose from my prosperous chair
with a solemn message to find the trouble maker
and retrieve the destructive hammer
Here I am in Ellanor's park feeling energetic and strong
holding the powerful universe in my hands
I am surrounded by strong healthy green trees
Listening to the drowning sound of the crickets singing in the breeze
The foul mouth giant has tried to root me up
But I am cemented a thousand feet into the ground
My foundation is laid on a steady rock
and I am ready for the building block
hypocrites line the street listening to my heart beat
Hypocrites sits at my table wondering if I am able
I have been on the road since twelve years old
Keeping my eyes on the big brown door
And I have worked relentlessly for the people around me
defending and doing what I believe is right
and standing up strong to the bull fight
I did not inherit a house of pearls
I have to be a strong example for the rest of girls
We are living in a global instability
and this is no time to start a public mutiny
Everything looks green around me
and I am going on the road again
I will be in it for the long haul
Because I have to answer to the masters call
My mind is set and my spirit is strong
Let us all move along and conquer together.
