Speak Out
A call was made to speak out against injustice and persecution. The killing of a man, the tipping point, seen on video, absorbed from all angles, the horror of the truth.
A call was made to speak out against injustice and persecution. They gathered and chanted and made a single voice. 10, 20, 100, 1000, each with a heart, a mind, a soul beating, thinking and hoping for a different truth.
A call was made to speak out against injustice and persecution. An opportunity to be heard, to be seen, to be understood after lives and lives have been lost from silence.
A call was made to speak out against injustice and persecution. Signs saying civility, humanity, community now! Lift your eyes. Lift your hearts. Lift your minds. Bring the change. Bring the future.
A call was made to speak out against injustice and persecution. To mend a fractured culture, to find the moral direction, to teach, to progress, to understand one side and the other.
A call was made to speak out against injustice and persecution. Voices speak. Voices sing. Voices sway. Voices communicate and engage.
A call was made to speak out against injustice and persecution. Never once has a voice broken a shop window. Never once has a voice burnt a building. Never once has a voice fired a gun. Never once has a voice, speaking for life, silenced another.
A call was made to speak out against injustice and persecution.
