THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE
1/21/17 By Ami Vielehr
This is what democracy looks like
The chant… the call …to stand up and MARCH
To fight for justice and equality and human decency
To stand against hate and bigotry
We will not be silent
We will not be still
We have a voice and our voice will resound
Perhaps one battle is lost
But we will win the LOVE WAR
Seven continents strong
Women, men, children…WE MARCH
Black, white, brown yellow, red… WE MARCH
Jew, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, WE MARCH
Gay, Straight, Trans WE MARCH
We will not settle for indecency
We will not fall for fallacy
We will not accept the lunacy
We will value democracy and freedom and justice for all
This is what democracy looks like
The chant …
The call to action…TO MARCH ON
Love Warriors united by peace and belief that
Love wins and Hate will never succeed
When we gather together in one voice.
This is what democracy looks like
You tell us to “get over it”
We say“ Get used to it”…
Until LOVE WINS we will continue to fight against
Injustice and so WE MARCH
This is what democracy looks like!
