We Are the Ground Crew

We fight

For the children


I know this sounds cliche

But it is absolutely

100%

Unequivicably

true.


How many of us are there?

There are thousands

Maybe even millions now

Waging a digital war

Going into battlefields

Of words

And energy

And prayer

And connections

And support


Because this is all we can do

Right now

Training on the ground level

Boot camp of the soul


Being thrown off airplanes

In our minds


Coming to terms

With the humanity

And the unhumanity

Of enemies

As close

As the computer screen

As near as those who were

Once our childhood heros

When we were young

And innocent

And true.


Maybe it is to save the sweetness

Of our own youth

As much as to free

From bondage those who

Ae still slaves now


That we fight

That we are part of this ground crew

Of digital soldiers


Because in this war

You dont need to enlist


If you are alive and breathing and AWAKE

You are in it


You have all the weapons you need

In your willingness to SEE

And say

No


No more.
