#InMyWords: 2017

Jonathan Calixto

Condemned to live in a world full of hate,

In which justice could never be settled.

Bystanders have become the hunted,

Residents have become the foreigners,

And Attackers the decision makers.

Our future generations will never understand safety.

To explore and enrich themselves in another culture without the fear of not seeing tomorrow.

Hunted for loving,

Hunted for believing,

Hunted for living.

________________________________________________________________________________________

In the eyes of defeat I'll find my voice.

Through this silence

I'll awaken my soul,

Nurture my tone,

Embrace my identity.

This time I won't be afraid.

To question, what's power?

To ask, what's OUR right?
