Respect the Fallen: Raise Your Voice


The tragedies remind men and women

of all those who have fallen

perished without reason

without a glimpse of the new season

without a cause burned in an oven

 

men and women watched

they saw it to be condemned 

yet no one spoke up

held onto fear like a hiccup

as lives were ended

 

speak now

if not today then tomorrow

stand up, it's your choice

raise your voice

be heard or forever live in sorrow
