Activist

Yes, you made the right choices and spoke with the right voices

You walked your walk and dared anyone to challenge your drive

As the comrades conformed and were absorbed into that against which you rallied

You prepared to stand alone and shout your defiance into the faces of all

Then the morning came when you realized a fatal truth, an epiphany that sobers and kills

Indifference always plays a role in this act, always behind the curtain waiting to step in

Because in the end we are all greedy, we are all for sale

despite the coverings we display we really just want to carry on, but not at the cost of our security

the few that can defy this definition of hypocrisy and weakness are saviors of the ideal we thought we lived

I hope you never die - the definition of humanity is our extinction
