“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" -Gandhi


Through battles staying high, flames have risen
Screaming triumph and victory earned
And hearing scorching voices imprisoned
We gather force to march with rights unburned

Watching eyes show meaningless confusion
Intention has gone into overdrive
Persuading crowds to believe delusions
The flame flickers but stays fierce and alive

We stood up from backing down just to run
Into slammed closed doors and suffocating
Holds us from standing full height to outrun
And the hopes of our past slowly fading

Tonight we will stand and break the fixed frames
Reaching high at the Olympic Games
