I Am

I am the voice that never dies.
The little people;
The multitude that cries.

I am the one you fight to oppress.
The proud slave;
The one you can't suppress.

I am the thief you heartlessly reprimand.
The hungry child;
The one you won't understand.

I am the religion you forcefully decry.
The faithful Jew;
The one you long to crucify.

I am the man you carelessly draft;
The peaceful soldier;.
The one who hates your bloody craft.

I am the voice that rings loud in the mall.
The dedicated activist;
The movement that won't fall.

I am everything inwhich you love to hate.
The voice of reason;
The one to defeat your chosen fate.
