Call to prayer at March for Humanity - #SanctuaryEverywhere Jeff Fazio / Jeff Fazio
This was one of three poems shared at the March for Humanity: #Sanctuary Everywhere on Feb. 4th, 2017 in Philadelphia. Bilal shared this poem then led others in prayers at 3 pm while marchers encircled them in sanctuary during the protest.
Have you ever seen such unity
People coming under the name of democracy
To right the injustice that's deemed the world from sea to shining sea
People of all different sizes and colors
Races and religions gather in places and clutter
Holding signs that you and I seek to humanize what's happening to this great country
A campaign established upon rage
Day after day we would hear you on our TVs and radio say
Phrases that kids could better articulate
Pointing fingers, blaming others for your mistake
When in reality you don't know why you're here in the first place
Mr. Trump look outside your big fancy towers for a minute
This is the American power, the American spirit
No matter where injustice resides we gather to diminish
No matter how long it's been goin' on we see it through to the finish
You'll see news headlines of protests and marches for months to come
No matter how hard you try, this will not be undone
You better take a lesson from Brits and leave like they did in London
Couple of days and you're already messing up lives
Tearing apart families those children, husband, and wives
Shutting down airports while Muslims stand in line
Trump, if you really have problem with us then "catch me ousside"
#lovetrumpshate, you will never divide
Holding hands with everyone who doesn't support injustice in the meantime
So listen to our voices as we scream higher and higher
Mr. Trump, the American people have spoken, you're fired
