Word #7 - Defiance

My head is full of projects, 

with words and dates and more.

It's unwilling to make space, 

for all I have in store. 

This is defiance at work, 

that word I put in the jar; 

this is defiance in action, 

just possibly right on par.

A toddler who just practices, 

his right to just say his "no's"

a teenager that just won't listen, 

and in the end will say, that blows.

This is defiance at work, 

that word I put in the jar; 

this is defiance in action, 

just possibly right on par.

Teachers politely protesting, 

on behalf of students; they care, 

those who normally shouldn't,

go above and beyond and share.

This is defiance at work, 

that word I put in the jar; 

this is defiance in action, 

just possibly right on par.

Jesus in his ministry, 

might have been a bit like this.

Jesus paved a new path,

all to bear witness.

This is defiance at work, 

that word I put in the jar; 

this is defiance in action, 

just possibly right on par.
