A VOICE AND A STICK

What do you have
to work with if not
your own voice
to speak what some
would never say
and a stick used
to guide sheep or
lean on like a cane?
What will happen
to them both: voice
and stick... when you
give them up for a
higher purpose
believe in something
more than your
own survival
work for the freedom
of everyone you
know
trust that the smallest
of instruments will
yield a mighty blow
