We fought for independence from tyranny.
We fought to end slavery.
We fought for a woman’s right to own property and vote.
We fought to end sweatshops and child labor.
Gandhi, Malcolm, Martin, and thousands of others
fought for justice in their own unique ways,
and today, each one of us
fights in our own unique way…
we fight for humanity and for our beloved species…
We know life can be better
for everyone…
Much better
for everyone.
However, without strength we cannot enter the battle.
And without peace within, we do not have strength.
It is in the still and quiet,
that we find ourselves,
and in finding ourselves,
we find strength.
And in this strength,
we can move forward and
help make our world a better place.
This is why we fight.
This is our pure intention…
and this is why
as time passes
we are victorious.
