Not For Sale
I am not
for sale.
My loyalty
cannot be
bought.
My values
will not
be compromised,
bit by bit,
in a steady drip.
Diluting
my soul,
until there’s nothing
left.
I will not
be your soldier.
I will not
fight your battles.
I will not
cower
from my truth
to serve
your lies.
I will use my feet
as a steady prayer.
My soul’s march,
drumming
the heartbeat
of my convictions.
I will use my voice
to testify.
Rising and falling,
singing my soul's
truth.
