Come stand with me

Let us stand together

come stand with me

against everything

that is foul


Let us hold each others hands

come hold my hand

through the darkness

that is all around


Let us walk together

walk with me

into the fire of lies

that seeks to burn

all the good in this world down


let us be as one and brave


Let us shelter each other

shelter me

through all the pain and suffering

forced upon humanity


Let us stand together

come stand with me

against those in power who bring us harm

with the wrath of their insanity


Let us promise each other

promise me

we will allways be

feeding our hope.

I find this full of goodness. My favorite lines are: “….the fire of lies/that seeks to burn/all the good in this world down.”. . and “….those in power who bring us harm/with the wrath of their insanity.” Huge concepts of enormous importance. Thank you. ~ ~ djl

Words direct with power are sometimes
the best way forward. Well said.

I, for one, will stand with you, Pierre. Fine poem.

The poem makes one consider whether or not "standing with you" is a good idea or not. Causes often start with logic like this. But they can easily turn into a cult of personality that so many fall victim to.
