"solidarity"
It is all about what we feel for each other.
It is all about support and sense of loyalty
to each other.
Since a tree cannot make a forest what
have we to lose in covering each other’s backs for good.
No matter what you do, you cannot be
taller and at the same time shorter than me.
To stand tall in a forest of giants we have to
stick together in love and unity irrespective
of race.
Jointly we will stand strong against waves
of failures and oppression.
Solidarity is the answer.
We will live to be our brother’s keepers cherish
and count on each other with our lives.
Show your solidarity.
For you have nothing to lose by giving.
Solidarity is a living heart of unity.
