marching orders

i'm not a night creature, i'm just a street teacher
a poet, empowered with a voice so i'ma speak out
you hear the poison that a lot of people speak bout
you know it, so you'll forgive the pieces that i leave out
i'm only interested in truths that i seek out
and sparks of inspiration my creations might leak out
been patient for a while quiet waiting for permission
but my mission is to speak to the sincere who choose to listen
given to give my heart through the words and the music
from the grassroots in the trenches with the troops
fighter for forgotten hearts and downtrodden youth
champion of justice and conqueror of oppression
enemy of ignorance and nemesis of obsession
paladin of peace and destroyer of the weapons
healer of the sick and surveyor of His blessings
rider for the people seated firmly on the steed
in opposition to the armies of lust, hate, and greed
how many rising with me, how many casualties we need
to recognize the acid eating us and spreading disease
a humble soldier in His Shadow praying softly on my knees
to send the strength to overcome the inner demons and lead
