'Renegade' Poem by Ray Lucero

He was a renegade
With no sword or pistol on his side
Truth would be his only blade
When injustice n’ corruption he defied

Pad n’ pen his instruments of war
Against those who chose him fight
Held evil accountable this provocateur
For a want to set wrongdoing right

“Love” the renegade’s true motivation
He knew it was the only way to peace
Love could re-unite his troubled Nation
For only love compels conflict to cease
