Making a stand

People are out, they’re taking a stand,

Marching together, hand in hand,

They follow their hearts, and principles,

The strength of many, is invincible,

Through London they go, saying their piece,

Shadowed closely, by the police,

We all have things, where we want change,

And just right now, the world is strange,

So much fear, conflict and division,

Fuelled by total, and utter suspicion,

Whatever side, you do appear,

Let’s try and make, one thing clear,

We all want peace, and a happy life,

One without, so much fear & strife,

In every country, the people are tired,

Of the stress, that continues the fires,

So out I call, for you today,

I hope you find, happiness I pray.
