Love knows
no violence
neither does peace
truth and justice—
God’s equanimities;
No longer
can we dwell in silence;
revelations reflect the proof
of history’s inequality—
Shadowing the story
of me and you
justice is not a scale
but a balance
leveling the distance
between we two;
Yet I refuse to become
like my enemy;
but will seek to win
by whatever means
necessary;
If this is as it must be
I accept without apology
my manifest destiny.
