And so we held hands merged across the globe, battling through poverty.

Confiscating our flags of freedom, as names lie in mockery.

Identities stripped away Giving no apologies warning us to stay down it's only a robbery.

And so we are prisoners without democracy

So they disavowed us without our names. diversity now labeled as hypocrisy.

Our flesh picked between their Teeth a pick disposed of into the streets.

And so we enfold for freedom of speech abreast with our brothers and sisters encountering humanity chained by deceit.

Beautiful shades inhabiting amongst the other holding our flags of all different colors.

Concealed behind hollow walls parting in hopes to divide us all.

And so we stood the stand with or without any chance standing united across the globe still hand in the other hand.

And so we will uncover the veil over their sight to assist them through the darkness, and into the light to welcome them and embrace them when they exit their flight and we will stand by them unified ...

So Let's build the orphan child his home. Let's listen to the stories of those who lost their souls. Let's build a union to help each other grow. Let's help put down these guns And give the youth some hope Let's fight this disease that put our lives on hold. Let's shower ourselves in forgiveness without any gold. Let's go protect the witness when truth was told. Let our woman make history known. And let our men feast without the bones.

Brown eyes blue eyes.. Tore up clothes. Big ears small face. Long arms wide waist.

Brown, white, black tan. Yellow, pink, pale and red, all colored with kindness deep within.

All with this heart filled with hope love and scars.

All needing air to breath DNA with traces of dirt not far from the tree once giving birth living freely without the hurt.

So let's assemble this table for our children to share bread in unison to show their worth.

Today we construct unity repairing peace on earth.

So we lit up the skies with bursting stars and we painted the locket with every shade of heart. together we existed in a beautiful world of art.
