We were burned and crushed
Left to decay on our own
But, we didn’t die
We struggled to breathe
To cleanse our lungs of harsh smoke
But, we didn’t die
We were sprayed and hosed
Called Ruined, Lost, and Damaged
But, we didn’t die
We will always thrive
Sowing faith keeps us alive
Through ash, we still grow…
