Resisting Arrest by Alex Andy Phuong

Uniting uniformed unity

You and I defy the sky

Teamwork and collaboration

Up to personal discretion

Civil Rights

Civility

Minorities against majorities

Stick to the status quo

But should we...?

Really?

Defy thy stars

And seek new avenues

Harness the power of creativity

And merge sense with sensibility

“Utopia” was conceived by Thomas More

But all must still strive for more

For he was A Man for All Seasons

Arrests might be criminal

But people cannot be subliminal

If they want to break free

Listen to words of wisdom from me

“Know thyself, be thyself, harmoniously”
