This is the world we live in
Full of lives
Full of ideas
Full of mothers and fathers
Children and teachers
Millions of people
Joined together today
To share their voice
To take each other’s hand
To walk together
Against the ideals of one man
It was a walk against Hate
A walk to celebrate diversity
To show we are here for one another
As much as we can be
It was a beautiful day
Opening the door for many more
For us to continue to work together
I am excited for what’s in store
It was a fight for all races
A fight for total equality
A fight to show we will not rest
Until all people can go on peacefully
Until the world is filled with unity
Acceptance for all
We must not wallow in despair
We must be vocal
We must stand tall
In this world
We have one common uniter
The love we share with one another
A true compassion for our fellow people
We must never forget
What was fought for on this day
Because love trumps hate
No matter what century or place
I am awed and inspired by the sheer numbers of people that protested for their beliefs today. My one regret is that I could not personally attend, and so this post is my thank you to all who did. I felt tears in my eyes as I looked at countless photographs and heard the many speeches of those who joined the march. I have never been prouder of humanity, this fight gives me so much hope. There is work yet to be done, and this is only a beginning. I can’t wait to see the beauty of what this future will bring.
Thank you for reading. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
