Filing the Silence

Freedom rings through its body

Bouncing off every corner until there is complete silence

Silent enough to hear the cries of children

Children that still believe in innocent heroism

They fill their minds with capes of scarlet-- shielding heats from corruption-- and bue stars illuminating our way

They're dreamers

Dreaming of creating a beautiful world

One where our differencs bind us together like a crescent moon

Filing up the entirety of the night sky

With strength in diversity and faith in courage

And children still believe in superheros

Superheroes whose moral compass drives them to do what is right against all odds

And they kneel before us asking for our help

While we pledge to an uncertain world

A world where women are valued for their beauty and not their intellect

Beauty is not an action that can be controlled

Our value is within our character-- where all or caged birds fly free

There is power in the silky velvet advice mothers give

It is the idea that flows through our veins and hums a song in our chest

It is the differences that stand together

The bronze gold that shimmers off our bodies

And the passion that fills our eyes

Because we stand in ignorane when we stand alone

It is togetherness that makes us whole

Standing side by side in the face of chaos

We give their deaths a meaning

Sending love through our actions

And fighting hate through our words

We use our voice in the empty silence
