Unity

A dream

Once shared by many

Destroyed by a few

The constant struggle to distance ourselves from the past

Never to learn from the mistakes of those who came before us

Tearing apart the last reminders

Destined to follow the same path as our ancestors

We must change

Rise against the hate we see every day

Creating a better existence

Not only for us but for those that come after

We should never forget

But rise from the ashes and soar
