ALLIES
We need allies
We need allies
we need allies to help save our lives
we need allies to help us ignite a flame
that is steadfast on hold, peace, and faith
We need allies to help sell a ship to a future filled with dreams; not crushed fantasies that turned into fear and make us sleep.
We need allies to take the torch to the finish line
We need allies to assist in between the fights
We need allies to pave a way for the dehumanized
We need allies to interlace arms and March with bravery for the victimized
We need allies to understand flaws and not place a brain because where is the justice for the human race.
We need allies to understand that all men are aren't created equal, but that narrative can be changed.
Through critical resistance we can UNITE as one because allies are one for all, not one for one.
