Solidarity
They talk about change
about progressive minded peoples
talk about sit ins and moratoriums
the kind where the others sit up
and take notice of a handful
of antagonists
because if we are only 3
then they think they can do away with us
but if we are more
stronger in a crowd
then watch them disburse
they will call us a movement
and watch how we move
to the beat of a different drum
listen to us as our voices peal
across a nation
giving credence  to liberation
