FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT SPEAK

---

When fear keeps you silent and hidden,
We will speak for you.

When the shouting voices demand your compliance,
We will whisper your truth.

When society and culture blame you for cruelties endured,
We will illuminate your reality.

​When fear keeps you trapped,
We will share your story as our own.

When you exist in a life not of your choosing,
We will not forget you.

When we demand justice,
You will demand justice, too
For we are one in our suffering and in our strength.

We carry you on our shoulders as we stand in the light.
