How can I give you hope today?
The silence is deafening
An inaction confirming the ignorance
The avoidance of the cries for change
How can I support you today?
The very ground beneath your feet crumbles
A foundation of lies and deception
Startles any sources of faith in we the people
How can I lend you strength?
You are weary of fighting
Hands cracked from a long winter
Souls worn down and disillusioned
How can I give you hope today?
This war is unjust and irrational
You matter
You deserve better
Your body tatters but you march on
With no gleam of shame or weakness
And if you can't afford hope today--
I will carry the torch on alongside you.
