Dignity
Dignity comes from within; given to us by the Them.
Back breaking, heart aching, sturdy ones, those who carried all which was done.
Dignity; my mother, your mother, my father, your father.
Born with it; never beaten out.
Dignity is your birth right; a prideful right;
never taken lightly; always protected.
Stand tall on the backs of many, for they have given you this right.
Remember their plight, for they have fought for you.
Repay them, for much is owed.
Stand in dignity, for they are watching.
Dignity comes from within, given to us by them,
never beaten out.
