Wondered what it would like to be passionate about something
Believing in an idea wholeheartedly to a point of reasonable extreme
Not falling completely under the spell of someone else
That would be a whole other category to discuss
One that could explain a lot of brutality and chaos surrounding us
Understandable to believe in something; not to corrupt it
By means of insanity or disgust
Decided to picture the activist types of yesterday
To get a proper picture of embracing an ideal
Without going completely overboard and giving up on reason
A vision designed in dark green camouflage
Appearance rough around the edges
Hair unkempt and shirt rumpled up for unknown purpose
Showcased a sense of passion for world and not themselves
Brimming with selflessness to the point of being a sacrificial lamb
Ready to lay down their lives for their particular cause
That could take decades or even centuries to resolve
Never-ending battle for equality had to be adaptable
In order to survive the changing times and addition of technology
Blending in practicality to get those remaining on the fence
Or behind the scenes afraid of standing out in the crowd
Strange to think that an activist can change with the times
Possible because revolution cannot remain stagnant
Will wither away on the vine if it does
Causes turn to different directions and the participants differed
Motives and needs transformed as time marched on
Seemed like a complete scheme in the long run
A rebel who ended up growing through the times
Changing to fit their environment accordingly
Hard to say if it worked or not
Proof was in the print and digital footprint
Realized that every cause had an opposing force
People who wanted to abolish before it got off the ground
Who went to extremes to extinguish the leader
Someone on the rise and potentially able to make change
For the better and not for the worst
Judas and the Black Messiah demonstrated this accurately
How a leader was able to work with everyone
Befriended those who were different to band together
Only to be taken down by those who disagreed
Seemed unjust after only trying to work on positive things
Decided that revolution needed to sometimes work
On a rather subtle and evolutionary scale
To incite change in the longer run
Educating those who remained unevolved and don't understand
Knowledge had a greater power than many realized
Time to use it for good; not ignorance.
