A prayer

From the river to the sea,

Roar masses all over the world,

Exasperated by eyes blind to suffering,

Eager to witness the end of the genocide.

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ

People of all religions, praying for peace,

Angry protesters screaming for justice,

Lifting up signs across University campuses,

Endeared by the victims of senseless violence,

Seared by the fires of countless bombings,

Terrified thousands thirsty and starved,

Ignored by money hungry politicians,

Never surrendering to hopeless despair,

Envisioning a day when theyโ€™ll be set free.
