Through the years I have seen much in this life.

My eyes have seen both fear and strife.

They have seen the tears, the shame and the pain

And the way the mighty have trodden upon the weak.

Do I let all of this decide for me who I am to be?

Do I let this form my personality?

In defiance yet I stand, for those who can't, do I demand

A place in the sun, a place to shine, a place to breathe in

fresh air.

I do not shrink in the face of tyranny, I stand in strength....

I KNEEL IN PRAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
