“The Fight Against Injustice” by Jane Cassidy

Calling all those oppressed, all those lost.

Calling all the hopeful, rich, young, and poor.

Calling all people, for United we must stand, or divided we will fall.

Our time is now, and our time is short, so we must make it count,

For we each hold the fate of the future in the palms of our hands.

Dwell not on the past, a new dawn is on the horizon.

 

The strong, steady heartbeat of our weathered nation energizes the voices of its people,

Broadcasting them across the world as a tidal wave of belated justice.

Poison words from poison people, human goodness is the only antidote.

Feed the world with kindness, meet evil with love.

Open your eyes and see the truth, for we are reborn

 

With the love in our hearts and the boots on our feet, we will make the world into what it is supposed to be.

Silence is the enemy, but violence is not our ally.

This is our time, and it is now.
