I never was Highfalutin
Nor was I ever a conformist. Where is the fun in that!
Power to the People, the nonconformists.
Who, whom, you may ask, are these People?
They are those voices which rage against the system dynamics.
Not the ones with highfalutin airs and graces, remiss
Thinking the system perfect and must needs be heeded-to
Power to the People, the nonconformists.
Lay in the street, join the protest, raise high the fist
Make a stand, climb high, be vocal, your voice a steeple
They are those voices which rage against the system dynamics.
I never was highfalutin, can't stand airs and graces, so amiss
Give me freedom, the right to roam, my choices agreeable
Power to the People, the nonconformists.
I want to join the voices in golden lights of wanton promises
Misbehaving in dreams of changes to nepotism and freebies
They are those voices which rage against the system dynamics
Beautiful rebellious souls joined in raging against misogynists
Freedom soaring on winds of 'power to the people'.
Power to the People, the nonconformists
They are those voices which rage against the system dynamics!

Power to the people filled with grace, justice & mercy--those who want the best for all. I'm so often frustrated by those who would perpetuate privilege according to race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, etc. by claiming they are the ones oppressed & abused & using the tools of protest to crush others who already have lived generations with the boot firmly planted on their necks.
Novel for president!!! 😁 Love the message here and this just built and built! Very free flowing but skilled!👏👏
Novel your poem captures the essence of rebellion, resilience, and the enduring spirit of those who refuse to be silenced in the face of systemic challenges.
