Unity Strengthens Society

One word is not enough to complete a sentence;
there must be more words defining wholeness;
one voice by itself is too weak to make an effect;
if that voice mingles with others, it has a stronger tone.
One man protesting unfairness is completely ignored;
the audacity of fearless men make them listen and comply.
Worthy ideals that can transform minds are never considered,
only brought to a pitiful ending; all free spirits must react.  
One individual standing alone, facing the wrath of opponents 
is incapable of bringing evil to justice; more unity is required.
