A rock and a hard place

A rock and a hard place

Why am I here before you now?

Must I bleed and die continuously

…standing for what I believe

To pay my dues to your view of society

Or walk away and be ashamed to show my face

No, that will never be

when they say freedom is never free… 

If it were just me

I would seek to escape a private hell

But we are many united

by progression of expression

of a divine source

And now I understand Just where I am…

Not where you want me to be

And yet the man I am

Between a rock and a hard place

No matter how hard you try

What you have done

only makes me strong

No technology

can erase my identity

I don’t claim to be a hero

I am a humble man

As if, it was you

Could you, would you

understand?

But who will state my case…?

In spirit land… i will

and in the place 

Where God meets man

And we are particles of sand

Standing along the seashore

Catching each wave of the ocean

Where everyone understands

where 

Together, meets …forever

Indeed, a onderful flow of the onement of being in the midst of the rocky hardness of oppression. Nothing can keep us from that "seashore" togetherness of oneness. Profound write! Thanks for the share. Peace and Love.

mlowe5, determination/definition/being grounded... nowhere else to go but up against the enemy, or cut down waiting for no end
