O U R T R U T H

When the lights fade to black,
when silence fills the streets,
when plumbing stands still,
who do we become?
Mere shadows.
History’s cycles spinning,
territories lost to time,
buttons of destruction,
children inquire,
adults blaspheme,
faith lies lifeless,
all fades into the abyss.
Governments breed hate,
while people cling to love,
politics devoid of passion,
our unity, our resistance,
against the grip of madness.
Please, sir, lend us aid,
eradicate those who barter our fate,
rekindle the flames of affection,
shield the vulnerable, nurture the young,
let us march forward, never forgetting,
our foundation of equality,
now, more than ever,
let it be our truth.
