Freedom from fear

with a fortified faith

Conceived in love is our kingdom

From our birth we brought its wisdom

Growing in fear we strive for freedom

Keeping a faith void of love is seldom

Conceived by a mother through a father

Born into this world to live together

The first breath was taken from the ether

Our existence is to help each other

Kindness and hate some have us learn

Happiness and fear we can discern

To know our calling is what we yearn

Living in darkness is no longer a concern

Enslaved by the greed of human wrath

Our hearts and souls will light our path

Out of hunger, homelessness, and lives lost in the bloodbath

We will all be united in the aftermath

Our strengths and skills are ours to use

To live in love is what we choose

The fire and power within our being is the fuse

To serve and preserve, never to abuse

This message is for a time

When sights and sounds no longer have rhyme

Knowing bombarding day and night is a crime

With the blood of children flowing like wine

To your aid, we will come

Using our strengths and skills in fulsome

In serving your needs we are wholesome

To once again live in equilibrium
