University of San Diego Poem

*University of San Diego*

The Torero spirit sends forth,
Like a riled bull, shot from the gate,
Chargers diehard to ride the North,
Joined by brethren en route to the gates,
Delivered Peace and Justice—is the freight.

Through sanative sights atop Mission Bay,
Toreros are freed with senses apeak,
Then free other souls that missed the way
To empowerment now with voices that speak
With a congregate voice that lifts the weak.

A school with belief in the rouse of beauty,
How in this setting the mind may travel
Closer to truth when strapped for study,
Then watch the ways of the brain unravel
Words that spread ‘yond Towers of Babel.

A uniting tongue from this Changemaker Hub,
A language of Peace and Justice on data,
Sent worldwide in what consists of
USD students in an armada
Off from the Top of Immaculata.
