They want us to be afraid. <br />They want us to be afraid of leaving our homes. <br />They want us to barricade our doors <br />and hide our children. <br />Their aim is to make us fear life itself! <br />They want us to hate. <br />They want us to hate 'the other'. <br />They want us to practice aggression <br />and perfect antagonism. <br />Their aim is to divide us all! <br />They want us to be inhuman. <br />They want us to throw out our kindness. <br />They want us to bury our love <br />and burn our hope. <br />Their aim is to take all our light! <br />They think their bricked walls <br />will separate us. <br />They think their damned bombs <br />will defeat us. <br />They are so ignorant they don’t understand <br />that my soul and your soul are old friends. <br />They are so ignorant they don’t understand <br />that when they cut you I bleed. <br />They are so ignorant they don’t understand <br />that we will never be afraid, <br />we will never hate <br />and we will never be silent <br />for life is ours!
