Poetry On Odyssey: Freedom Fighters,

A dedication to those who fight for freedom. Only seeking to right injustices. They are the Freedom Fighters.

So you hear us?

O okay, now you see us.

We are this passion that has morphed into a daily fight.

While the people sleep,

we are praying to God:

Lord please protect them from the black hearts,

the evil doers who are sent by the one who reigns in the night.

Block the attacks each day and every night.

Although we appear strong,

Lord it is the cries of our youth,

our babies that saddens us.

There are so many injustices.

Father, we operate within the laws of the land.

More importantly, we continue to trust You.

Understanding, there is much work for us to do.

Just like David we will continue to fight.

Even if that means sacrificing our time into the late hours of the night.

Just like Abraham we will not waiver from our faith.

Even if that means to carry on all alone

without the masses because they cannot see Your way.

Lord we are seeking Your heart.

That is why this road where we find ourselves has to be Your destiny.

We have no choice. We cannot go back. We cannot depart.

Not only do we know that You are the one true God,

We know Your Son our Savior Jesus, too.

So we love everyone fully.

We live freely without fear.

And just as Your word teaches, we forgive immediately, even if they are unaware.

It is only because of You that we are present during this time.

We know that You brought us here.

Because, we are free with liberties

we understand, who the Son sets free is free indeed.

We protest in peace.

We speak for the silenced.

Those who cannot speak.

None of this is about us.

This is not our story.

This too will bring all praise and honor to You.

Father, You will get all the glory.

We are fighting for freedom.

Simply, because all freedom is not free.
