In Solidarity © Toni Bunnell 2015 They stood outside in silent pose The rain came down on those unknown Faces on the TV screens Whose lives had once held only dreams Dreams surrendered to the day When nightmares chased them far away Replacing them with fear and dread A lasting numbness there instead A day that started bright and clean Where freedom was a certainty And no-one knew what was in store Read the signs, took extra care The writing it was on the wall But who can live their lives at all Shrouded in a cloak of doubt Always scared to just speak out? Afraid to voice their thoughts out loud To fade away into the crowd To be always seen but not be heard Is not an option in this world The pen is mightier than the sword Always better to use words Sentences with cutting edge Than guns or knives with sharpened blade So courage stands amongst us now Unbeaten, though with furrowed brow We lift ourselves and face once more The fate that darkened every door The fate that took us by surprise With suddenness and thin disguise Leaves us not cowed and crushed As we stand together all of us https://youtube/watch?v=PSZxDfj13-c&feature=em-upload_owner
