As the war rang out around us
We sat still.
We would not fight back
our silence is enough.
They try to put us in our place
but we will never fit into their box.
Our will is too strong.
Our brothers and sisters will continue to fight
until the very last breath.
We will fight with peace on our minds
but they fight with hate on their lips.
They will beat, bruise, and bury us.
Yet we will still carry on.
Even as our brothers die before us
we mustn't give up until this is
**equality for all.
