NO MORE
YOUR WORDS HAVE NEVER HURT MORE.
IN A TIME OF CONSTANT PAIN YOU CHOOSE YOUR SECOND OF BLISS OVER BRIGHTENING A DAY IN THE LIFE OF ANOTHER.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
ARE YOU HURTING TOO?
WELL THAT'S WHAT WE ARE ON THE EARTH FOR. TO COMFORT ON ANOTHER.
NOT TO SPIT IN THEIR FACE AND CALL THEM THINGS YOU WOULDN'T SAY TO YOUR MOM OR HER MOM.
WE ARE HERE TO CARRY EACH OTHER WHEN THE LEG OF A CITY OR NATION IS SPRAINED.
WE ARE HERE TO STOP THE BULLIES THAT HURT MY NIECE AND KICKED YOUR SON.
WE ARE HERE TO GIVE JUSTICE TO THE VICTIMS OF RAPE AND THE CHILD OF ABUSE.
WE WILL NO LONGER TEAR DOWN.
WE WILL BUILD UP!
