Empowering, you say?
Eloquent, you say?
Lets move past these speeches
These power words with no
Change.
Tell the Angels to hold our signs
Have God carry our dissatisfaction
We've carried the weight of the world
They can fill in.
Bite the hand that feeds you
It's food, poisoned
A dipped apple
A tainted soul
Can you hear us?
Take out your megaphone
Put down your weapons
Travel the steps that lead us to
Peace.

Names guide us
They control us
There's power in a name
In a meaning
A telling of secrets
Words we think in silence
Justice should guide us
Peace should control us
There's power in camaraderie
In a solidarity
A telling of hearts
Words we speak in love
Gently, now
Brush the tears away
Lovingly, now
Cradle the broken closely
Passionately, now
Fight for each other
We love best by the moon
Our inhibitions hidden
Under a sky of Blue and Black
Working together to bring us
Endless galaxies of beauty
Together we stand
Divided we fall
Together we all fall.
