We Must Rise
We Must Rise
Conflict everywhere,
hard to ignore,
pain on the screen,
and still there is more—
so much terror,
so much fear,
the world feels hopeless,
the future unclear.
The media makes us casualties too,
in wars no one ever wanted to pursue.
We wake each day
not knowing what we’ll hear,
and our minds drift back
to the weight of that fear.
It’s hard not to carry
the ache of it all,
hard not to feel
like the sky’s about to fall.
But pause.
Look right here,
right now,
at the ground beneath our feet.
In this moment,
we are safe.
In this moment,
we are free.
And all we can do
is breathe into that truth,
be grateful, be present,
let it soften us.
Bless the fact
that the storm is not
at our door,
that our lives still hold
a beautiful meaning worth fighting for.
We must rise—
choose love over fear,
choose peace over pain,
keep choosing humanity
again and again.
For as long as we’re here,
as long as we stay,
let our hearts be the light
that doesn’t fade.
