Liberty and Justice for All

No Justice, No Peace

Silence
Silence is the goal of the oppressor
So we march
We march screaming
Loud enough
To make our voices transcend
thier boundaries
And still we are not heard
Yet we march
We march because we are anchored
To the pavement of the streets
The streets that run bloody
Until the fight is won
But victory is not our goal
Still we march
We march with millions of children
Finding strength in unity
Born out of cause
To seek forgotten justice
Until we are allowed to laugh again
We cannot laugh now
We cannot laugh
because we are scared
The darkness brings out a reflection
A reflection our eyes strain away from
But it pierces
through the clouding vision
And so we march
To make art not war
For out of art comes peace
I marched the streets of Baltimore
To give you
My portrait of change
A Dark Reflection
