– Torches Burning Cities –
The world is harsher now,
the ideals of our rights defiled,
and privilege given first
to those who claim the most
in keeping of their rights
in property upon us.
So many of us are fighting
for our dignity and freedom,
for our right to love and live.
I will stand behind you
and hold you higher.
I will hold space for you,
and for all of those
who have been forced
to face these odds alone.
I will take up your torch
and let it burn ever brighter,
that the rest of us may be seen
within the darkness that remains
when you are gone.
-For Abra-
