I really don't know where to find the words,
as they seek to fly like wandering birds.
I read your letter and my heart started to drop,
for we all have the power to make this illusion stop.
This is now OUR FIGHT, AND THIS IS OUR LAND,
WHERE THE CORE OF DESTEE
MUST NOW MAKE A STAND.
We've been many places from africa to rome,
but Destees the place we've chosen as home...
to express ourselves and to be who we are,
as a unit of one though we live very far.
We come here to smile, to laugh and to learn,
so how can we sit and watch OUR OWN HOUSE BURN ?
Is this who we are, I really don't know...
but our failure to act means we reap what we sow.
I know we're much stronger,
so wipe the tears from your eyes,
for if we must fall at least we'll say we all tried.
But I don't believe there's a reason to fall,
if each poet, student and teacher will only stand tall.
Tall enough to stand behind a woman with heart,
who provided a place where we each have a part.
A part of ourselves that we know is for real,
where we don't have to fake, to hide or conceal.
So don't put your keyboard back up on the shelf,
cause what we done for others we can do for ourself.
The battle cry has rang but this isn't the end,
for all our ancestors died cause they knew WE COULD WIN.
AND JUST LIKE THEY FOUGHT TO PROVE THEY WERE STRONG,
THIS BATTLE IS OURS TO PROVE THEY WE'REN'T WRONG !!!
LOVE YA !!
