Stand up or stand-up in a military sense, is United States military terminology or jargon which means to formally activate and commission a unit, formation or command structure. The inverse would be to "stand down" the unit, which means to deactivate or decommission it. (Wikipedia)
Where we stood up,
accepted responsibility,
became who we were destined
to become. Where we admitted
our personal weaknesses,
acknowledged the strength
of the whole, drew a line
in sands of history.
Individually we stand up,
accepted responsibility,
became who we were destined
to become. Where we admitted
our personal weaknesses,
acknowledged the strength
of the whole, drew a line
in sands of history.
Individually we stand up,
proudly carrying on torches
passed down by founders,
carried through decades
by weak addicts made powerful
because years ago, someone
stood up, then someone else,
until as a community of addicts
we became and continue
as the community that stood up.
