Victorious
by Lauren Alyse
We are tired
Tired of sitting back
Ignoring hatred
Staying stagnant
We are tired
But we got time
Time to
Build each other up
Adjusting each other's crowns
Polishing armor
Educating
Organizing
Supporting
We might be tired
But we aren't sleeping
We might be tired
But we still have strength
The revolution started long ago
But today we rise again
Our brothers and sisters that came before us
Paved a way for progress
Progress that we are continuously building upon
They showed us we have a life
A life worth fighting for
In this revolution
We all stand together
Arm in arm
Fighting the greatest war
Not against people
But against ideas, powers and principles
Those principles have aged
Those ideas are more tired than we feel
All of which need to be transformed
Transformed into respect for all races
People in all places
We won't let a rock go unturned
We will fight until it's over
It's our revolution
We will stand together in triumph
Our story is already written
We are just walking through the pages
Pages filled with determination
Each new chapter bringing hope
The last chapter is yet to come
While you might see a revolution
We will have our eyes focused on our victory
