How We Will Fall

I know I've already posted tonight, but I wanted to say something to honor those lost in the Paris terrorist attacks, and those helping and needing help in the aftermath.

You try to crush the world in your chains

You exert your every effort across nations

You squeeze your disease through every opening you can find

In an attempt to destroy us all

Violence

Death

Chaos

It seemed you had succeeded

And put our backs to the wall

You must have rejoiced

You must have rung the victory bells

You must have put up your feet

But what you don't know is that we still hear hope's call

So we are standing, up off the ground

All across the world

Through hashtags

Relief efforts

Donations

Support and cooperation among us all

You may not want to see it

But we are showing you

No matter how hard you throw us

How thoroughly you break us

How forcefully your blows land

Are

Showing

You

How very nobly, courageously, and defiantly we will fall
