we are still here

We are marching in the streets.

Side by side we stride.

Thousands of us with our feet on the ground.

We don’t want to hide.

We stand together in any weather, in any circumstance, for each other.

We shout in unison for all to hear.

We are white, black, brown.

Yet our many stories move as one.

We are spiritual in our own ways with prayers rising in different tongues.

Yet we sway side by side, marching together; we will not hide.

We will ride this out, choosing one another.

The sweat from our brows, our breath in the air, our eyes wide open.

We are here for each other.

We are marching in the streets.

There will be no defeat.

The power of the people will rise.

All will hear our cries.

Hate does not bind us.

It does not break us apart.

For only luv is in our hearts.
