Like a mountain

I will not be silenced
I will not be shaken
I shall not move an inch.

Now is the time to stand
Rise up and do what needs to be done
Hear the call, answer it promptly.

With great haste and bitter composure
Keep the wolves at bay
Nevermind the twisting toil of words.

Be still, wait for it, then take it.
It is rightfully yours, protect that which is dear
Always be vigilant in your sentry duty.

Grasp this feeling, this urgency
This state of emergency that wells within you
Sing and shout until your vocal chords shred.

Hold onto your emoton, keep it close
Write it down, remember it
Do not forget the joy, the happiness
The loss, the struggle, the hope.
