Such a One

     Any son or daughter who conquers fear,
           and chooses to be free, 
           is thereby powerful.
     Naked, weaponless, blessed, 
           armed only with humanity,
           mighty indeed is such a One.
     An inspiration to mankind is such a One.

     Tyrants instill fear and hopelessness,
	     hunger after submission,
	     try to destroy such a One.
     Tyrants know deep in their shriveled soul,
	     at most they can kill,
	     but never vanquish such a One.
     Tyrants tremble before such a One!

     Sons and daughters of humanity in chains,
	     believe freedom is external,
	     wait to be handed freedom.
     Tyranny will dissolve disintegrate die
	     on the day we realize,
	     freedom is a decision.
     And we become such a One … and One … and One!

Liberty. Equality. Justice

Governments must be redesigned to achieve these core values.

My activism, fiction, and science are aimed at these core values.
