How bright is the soul
that dares to stand alone
who gives voice to injustice
who is willing to sacrifice
self for a higher purpose?
What song might we sing
if such a spirit moved us?

I’m afraid we’re showing one another the answer.

I’m not sure they’d all be the same song, but what a beautiful harmonization there’d be; beautiful enough, i bet, that the warriors would pause for at least a moment, question the benefits of hate and indifference, stop their nasty rhetoric, and consider putting down their weapons whether they be words or guns and, hopefully, decide to stop and sing along.
I sing mine every day. I’m sure you do too. Ready? And a 1-and a2….SING!
