Follower

I knew not if Africa had a time
I would follow the tide to the last line
More rigid than my favourite quote
I rode on principles as the principal
A follower must follow right?

I am in the frontline of a new rebellion
Retweeting hashtags, amplifying just causes
I match at my own command
For my steps must take me to the centre
This is how I forge my way

I will pant for living waters
Jump through hoops with my eyes open
I will not thrust faith in arms of the fateless
I will read beyond the headlines
Dig above superficial truths
