Ultimate Hope of Ancestors
You may shoot me with your sophisticated weapon
But, I will fire you back with my powerful words
Because my weapon is kindness
You may want to see me broken down in my knees
But I want to see me risen back in my feet
You may want to see me weeping in tears
But I want to see me swim in a deep ocean
Because I am the hope of Veterans that defy to give up
And stand up for justice and equality for all
You may want to see me brokenhearted covered in blood
But I want to see me down in prayers
Because prayers lead to action
You may want to see me hopeless in a deep well like a frog
But I want to see me climb a mountaintop
And preach a sermon
You may want to see me silent and voiceless like an owl
But I want to see me be the voice for poor and needy
You may want to see me suffocate in fire
However, I want to see me run through the flames
Into the deep blue ocean
Because I am the ultimate hope and dream of my ancestors
