GET UP!: A Fight Poem

GET UP!

GET OFF YOUR KNEES!
PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!
LIVE ON YOUR FEET!
CELEBRATE ON YOUR FEET!
FIGHT ON YOUR FEET!
DIE ON YOUR FEET!

My one armed
never over five feet tall grandma
screamed in a bar fight:

"GET UP!
GET UP!
YOU WANT SOME MORE!
GET UP!"

Saul Williams screams in a poem:


"WHAT HAVE YOU BOUGHT INTO
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO BUY YOU OUT?!
WHAT HAVE YOU BOUGHT INTO
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO BUY YOU OUT?!
WHAT HAVE YOU BOUGHT INTO
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO BUY YOU OUT?!"

We are safe
and our fears are meant to be faced

Face your fears
get off your knees
before the king

Live on your feet!
Celebrate on your feet!
Fight on your feet!
Die on your feet!

"GET UP!"

"WHAT HAVE YOU BOUGHT INTO
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO BUY YOU OUT?!"

Find your fight...
you're gonna need it.
