For Change

Such sparks of red,
Ignited a hungry fire,
In the hands of those,
With teeth clenched,
And fists so white.
They hold it to the sky,
Invoking the name-
Of hate and desire.
It was nothing,
But a call of the wild,
A march against cruelty,
A battle song for power,
And a strike to the heart.
They demand to be heard,
With voices as loud as thunder,
Which can't be ignored,
The more the innocent cry,
For a more powerful change.
