Joy as Defiance (3 min)
Robert Arnold

...

Joy

Wild, reckless and untamed

The kind of joy that dances barefoot on the graves of tyrants

The kind that sings in the streets while the oppressor tightens his grip

The kind that laughs in the face of power because it knows something power does not

That freedom is not won through fear, but through the refusal to be afraid

....

Defiance 'til Death
