There’s A Revolution in This Prompt

We had to use 8 words

Oh, these words.
There’s revolution in these words,
the way they carry weight and history,
grief and tragedy,
strength and triumph;
in ancestor, we see lineage,
warriors and kings,
chiefs and lords,
the truth of our existence
in royalty and fight
(even when they practice the erasure of it);
in uprising, we are the black fist of justice,
smashing borders and limitations,
overcoming scar and bruise,
injury and impairment,
exceeding their expectations of us;
in fracture, we break free of oppression,
shattering chains,
rejecting false ceasefires,
and splintering hate
so that tomorrow, we can rise.
Oh yes, these words.
There’s a revolution in these words,
and this verse is an act of insurgence.


We had to use the following words: ceasefire, erasure, ancestor, tomorrow, scar, uprising, border, and fracture.
