A Tribute to "Civil Disobedience"

Upon the reading of "Civil Disobedience" by H.D. Thoreau.

To never letting voting be enough,

 

        And not abuse the priv’lege of convenience;

 

To stop excess and live within yourself,

 

        Denying all your loved luxuriance;

 

To not await for change that must become

 

        In revolution-based expedience;

 

To hearken for the age that is to come,

 

        To live in civil disobedience.
