From 2023 to 1965,
we read of the years of strife
and looking back beyond 1865,
freedom brothers strive.
a nation torn apart, life by life,
Slavery, a nation torn apart,
healing comes when we learn to see,
Sister bled with sister, heart to heart.
Let unity be our guiding call,
with beauty in our commonality, our diversity.
Different we stood, united we stood,
United we stand, divided we fall,
Accepting the differences, as we should,
We found the strength to heal and fuse-
together -we must send out a unity call!
But lo and behold, our foes do know,
though we seek unity to see us through.
The power of division, the seeds they sow,
Promoting violence, stirring unrest,
Divide and conquer, our enemies knew…
White bleeds black too.
