Despite the evocation,
Reduction, reprisal,
Draw a circle,
Around my face, eyes, nose. 
Triangle, circles, about my square, 
Protection from inside my head.

I've seen males drag knuckles, 
on their floor, faith and culture.
Their minds warped, images of war,
For what did they fight?
Rights, to remove the guy ropes, 
Scrape pavement with claws at night.

Tools of change,
Use of space,
Use of names,
True and sage.

Despite the evocation,
Things change.
