To Steppin

The long walk to freedom

Is worth every step

With both feet

You know why

It is the only way

It is a lonely road

You feel the ignorance

From the voices of the frauds

The frail tadpoles

The adult zygotes

The insecure snakes

The familial saps

Seep out of your toes

Stays with you

Only moving forward

Only stretching your strides

Only catching the soft wind on your cheeks

To soothe the heat

Risen, piping

Waving

Flowing in your blood veins

Heat drowned by the echoes of white noises

No trauma

The long walk to freedom

Only built to define persistence

Persistence strengthened to defy ignorance

Persistence leveled to define excellence

Excellence sustained to align the vision

Cleared, all steps
