This is for a friend who asked if I would be willing to help in out in a poetry project he has got going, the topic is Now

Now is our fragile point in time
When our lives are hanging in the balance
And Friendships are all that we have to hold onto

Now is a life full of long nights

We refuse to be stopped or changed
We do not passively resist the bonds that are sought to be placed on us
We shatter them with our form of revolution
Making small changes in society's view of how things should be
How a person should dress
How a person should act
How they should react

We are the revolution of today
