Politics in a Box

I've stood in protest for as long as I can remember.
Not once have I sat to catch my breath.
I'm starting to ask myself,
How much of this will mean something.

When people look back,
Will they remember
These choices I've fought for,
Or is it just another missing history?

Does this protest punctuate my purpose?
Can my protest be seen on through time?
I want what I've done to matter.
I want to leave knowing there was real change.

Not just the classic position-taking.
Not just logrolling my way through life.
I won't let my choices be arbitrarily diminished.
I know what I'm fighting for matters.

It's not just politics in a box.
