We, the People, We Are One

"We, The People, We Are ONE"

We, The People, We Are ONE,
We have a mission that MUST be done.
We must UNITE, in LOVE embrace,
To keep us strong enough to face
Our opponents, the wolves as sheep,
Who strive to herd 'us' and to keep
Us trapped in fear should we rebel,
Show resistance against the hell
They are designing, have underway,
So they may reap and we must pay;
Meet their demands, supply their need,
Of lust for power, insatiable greed.

While among us, poverty abounds,
Starving children, hear the sounds.
People made sick with illness, disease,
They toy with lives as they please.
They claim to be leaders, us protect,
Honour and praise they do expect,
While they steal from us, rob us blind,
Feed us lies, poison our mind.
They have no conscience, no remorse,
For what they do and so, endorse.

We, The People, MUST take a stand,
UNITE as ONE, NOT disband.
We must prioritise what's at stake,
Let not our differences, divide us make.
For when we permit this dividing wedge,
We hand our opponents the cutting edge.
This is not a task for one or two,
ALL of us must follow through,
When those with courage face the wrath,
The rest of us should join their path,
For a single flame or two or three,
May be extinguished most easily.
But a wall of fire can relentless be,
And force surrender of the enemy.

We, The People, We Are ONE,
We have a mission that MUST be done.

UNITE to conquer, starve not feed,
The tyranny levied, driven by greed.
We, The People, MUST decide...
To conquer them 
-or- 
BE conquered by divide!

Remember...
"Love UNITES; hate DIVIDES."
