Today We Unite


Resilient. Unbroken. Standing Tall. United in a common goal.

We were never children of peace-times. Soft but eager to prove ourselves in war.

Yesterday we were divided.

Here we stand: the daughters and sons of Ares; weary, ready to lay down our arms.

Fear has been our blanket, violence our bottle; the children of Mars we were raised.

Today we refuse.

Today we scream NO! We will not fight. We not wage these wars.

We were born into the battle, we refuse to die within it.

Today we remember.

Our brothers and sisters have perished, the price of ancient feuds.

Our childhoods are in ruins, our future tarnished by blood.

Today We Unite.

Tomorrow there will be no war. We will not let it!

Tomorrow there will be no hunger. We will not let it!

Today We Unite.

Tomorrow there will be no slaves. We will not let it.

Tomorrow there will be no scars. We will not let it.

Today We Unite!

Today we stand. Against our upbringings.

Today we join hands under one banner. Upon it: Peace.

Today We Unite!

Today we study, explore and create.

Tomorrow there will be no pain. We will not let it.

Today We Unite!

A visionary once said to “Imagine

Imagine all the people.”

Today We Unite!

Today we Imagine. Today we dream.

Today we act and bring back peace.

TODAY WE UNITE!
