—Spread The Cure Of Love Against The Infection Of Hate—

In the heart of night, a whisper grows,
Against the tides of sexism’s blight,
A call to arms, where courage shows,
Classism’s divide, and racism’s fight.
Ableism’s shadow, cold and stark,
Here begins our journey, a mighty arc.

For every woman judged by gender, not her mind,
For those in shackles of society’s past,
For every soul where prejudice is blind,
And those who’re doubted, their abilities vast.
We stand as one, against the systems that be,
Every battle we fight for you, for me is for we.

Our weapons are love, understanding, grace,
With every step we take against the grain,
To embrace the differences, within a human face.
We challenge the norms, to break the chain.
For justice, equality, in every sphere,
We speak our truths out, loud and clear.

No longer shall the old ways define,
We rise together, diverse yet whole,
The worth of a life, yours or mine,
In pursuit of one common goal.
To break the barriers, mend the rift,
The fight to shift, heal, and uplift.

A world where love transcends all bounds,
This poem, a beacon deep in the night,
Where respect, in every heart, resounds,
A call to action for humanity, to do what’s right.
To stand for all, without exception,
In love, in strength, in deep connection.

For in this unity, we find our power,
To go against the tides of hate,
In every moment, in every hour,
Society together, we can re-create.
A world that shines with hope so bright,
Where every human’s granted their right.
To live, to love, to be, to dream,
A world that’s fair, where humanity reigns supreme.
