People of justice, freedom, and fear
I've come today to spread a message for you to hear
Not a message to be overlooked
Please dear child look away from your book
This is an important message of God's
The word of evil dependent on the odds
We will suffer and barely survive
But then again I'm sure we will thrive
We must stick together
Through all wind and weather
No matter the color or gender
All that matters is were the same as the other
We all share a wanting
Through hours of haunting
You fought for your rights
Flew to different heights
Don't lose them now
Please take a bow
You are important and beautiful
The rivers are plentiful
Our ancestors bled and fought
Do not let this come down to not
Not a soul, kingdom, or person
Could see such a worsen
Beside you is a someone
Child, man, or women
All alike and even then
It could all come to an end
But today you are a friend
No longer an enemy
Stay friends for eternity
For a thousand years
Stay above all fears
Only for love may you live so long
The bang of the gong
The softest whisper
The loudest laugh
The tiniest prayer
Can tear you up

I wrote this for my school writing class! I was inspired by Amanda Gorman's poem that she read at the inauguration.
