Violet!

Violet

Streaks of earth matted in her hair

Beaten down, but she won't scare

Blinks her eyes, battered green and blue

Ignorance can leave an awful bruise

So get up!

Get up!

Come on and get up, Violet!

Blade of grass in her aching fist

Sets her jaw, no she won't quit

She'll take the fight to streets and avenues

A little dirt can make a flower bloom
