Warrior


I choose my words because of their freedom the freedom they fought for they fought for me. I, too, am a warrior my weapons are my words. They are sharp and shocking, smooth and soothing. My words will dance delicately like moths dancing with fire: they will burn through the minds of ages to come. I, too, am a warrior speaking for millions whose mouths are too dry from the breathing the air of ignorance they feed us. My words are not violent or ugly or rude they are not pretty or proper. My words are the words of a warrior. My words are the words of truth.
