World Social Justice Day
On the 20th of February each year, people around the world unite in observance of the World Day of Social Justice. This international occasion, officially established by the United Nations in 2007, serves to increase consciousness of social justice matters and foster initiatives aimed at addressing them.
Injustice festers like a sore
On the fabric of society we adore
Bleeding into every crack and crevice
Suffocating those who cannot fight the vice.
*
But hope still springs eternal
In the hearts of the oppressed and internal
The fire of change is kindled by their strife
Their voices ringing out for a better life.
*
Their cry for justice echoes far and wide
Breaking through the barriers of our pride
A call to action, a plea for what is right
A demand for equality, shining bright.
*
Let us heed their call and stand as one
Our battles fought until the war is won
For when justice prevails, we all win
A society reborn, a new world to begin.
*
Let's lift the veil of ignorance
And put aside our differences
To build a world where all can thrive
Where justice reigns and all can survive.
*
Let's tear down walls of hatred and fear
And let compassion guide us near
To a brighter future where love abounds
And all voices are heard, all stories resound.
*
For justice is not just a fleeting dream
But a reality that can be seen
If we stand together and fight as one
A new era of justice can be won.
*
So let us rise up and take a stand
With hearts and minds joined hand in hand
For a world where justice flows like a stream
And all can live, and all can dream.
