I just take up one pair
of shoes at a time.
Even though one voice
emanates from me,
it can be heard a long
ways away.
The shot that was
heard around the
world.
So one voice is one
voice. Two is twice
as many. Let us
stand together for
the good of humanity
and be heard–peacefully
even quietly, but heard.
That will begin the
dialogue of actions
that will bring
the changes that
are about to happen.
Stand strong.
We are the base of
civilization we’re
building anew.
