Fire
My fight does not stem from the desire to overpower
My fight stems from my roots embedded in the rich earth of my motherland
My struggle stems from the recognition that evil will always exist if good stays silent
My struggle is driven with my heart and my fist
My heart drives me with the passion to continue working for justice for all
My heart is the fuel
My fist is the fire
When I raise my fist, it is a symbol of preserverance.
A beacon of light shouting, "I am here!"
And I am here to stay.
