The wild ones

 Some of us are raising the wild ones,
the room-wreckers and reality checkers,
the fire-tongued and fierce leaders,
the wild-hearted and world changers.

These kids can argue like a prosecutor
when you just wish they'd say,
"yes, mama" and move on.

But, one day, they will use those skills,
to stand up for themselves, for the people
they love, and for perfect strangers
because injustice doesn't live in their world.
