On the bridge between brutality and humanity

 

I'm glad that I have strong beliefs

Am able to say what I  feel,

Keep  calling for a ceasefire

An end to oppression and war,

Use my voice to question

Take a stand against barbarity,

When Fascism and cruelty 

Has become the norm for so many.

I believe in extreme kindness

Forces of good against evil,

The power of love and empathy

Among the painful tug of times undertow,

Remembering all those that struggle to be free

People who keep resisting malevolent violence,

Who  do not accept a colonising rogue country

Trying to exterminate another nation of people.

With militant identity and unfaltering breath

I support lion hearts, their liberty denied,  

Voices that continue to dream for a better world

Defying forces of injustice and suppression,

The protestors demonised and silenced

People enslaved all over the world,

On the pavements and roadsides

Far away from where I abide.

With famine and starvation in Gaza imminent

Thousands of displaced forced to eat animal feed,

As bombs continue to  rain down  on  innocents

I hope for an end to this ongoing suffering,

Ignore the politicians that cruelly diminish

Keep following rebel souls that break the chains,

Shining their truth for those unable to see

Seeking a new reality beyond current insanity,
