In honor and memory of the
Men, Women, and Children whose lives were taken because of hate and intolerance.
May their spirits guide us to the day when acceptance is truly universal,
when individual differences no longer matter.
Together we stand millions strong
Yet too few are seen or heard
Too many voices never speak out
Until it becomes too late
Together
they number in the millions
Yet each, at the end, stood alone,
Never again will their voices ring out
All paid a price too high
Yet each, at the end, stood alone,
Never again will their voices ring out
All paid a price too high
We remain
a community divided
They share a bond of blood
They share a bond of blood
Our silence
became their condemnation
Their silence is our damnation
Their silence is our damnation
- May, 1999
