This Is

Rating: 5.0


This is who we are
A Movement, a cause
The People who will
Put your perceptions to pause
(one in many, many in one)
A shimmer of Soulforce
To shatter the silence
Until the war is won

We are no accident!
We are progress (human evolution)
Billions of years and we
Will push through many more
This generation, our remaining
Lifetimes for sure
Or, tell me we were hand-crafted
I believe you, I actually do
Because we’re so different
In shape, mind, and hue
Shouldn’t we share a short,
Sweet, and simple message
That says diversity shouldn’t interfere
With equality?

Dream of the day when all can see
Our hearts beat the same
No matter whom we love
Why must we fight?
Why can’t we just love?
Dream of the day with
No vultures, just doves

This is our every sentiment
This is my involvement
This is (a part of) who I am
