Rise-A spoken word poem

Updated: Jul 15, 2020

"Love never fails..." 1 Corinthians 13:8



I will rise/

with this great nation/

in celebration/

of what we have become/

of what we have overcome/

of the race we have run/

and won/

so that one day hate will hide/

in the brightness of what we have become/

confident in who we are/

confident in where we stand/

in our love for our fellow man/

of what we are/

how we love one another/

sister to sister/

brother to brother.


Love is what it's all about/

it's a true and beautiful thing/

coming together/

like doctor king/

paved the way/

made a way/

fought a way/

died a way/

for us to stay united/

undivided/

indivisible/

individual/

fellow woman/

fellow man/

shoulder to shoulder/

younger and older/

people who strive/

celebrating that we are alive/

that we have the drive/

to fight for what is right/

our rights/

certain and inalienable/

available/

undebatable/

to each and everyone/

no matter gener/

come together/

no matter race/

face to face/

heart to heart/

hand in hand/

we understand/

that no matter what/

you matter/

I matter/

we matter/

love matters/

compassion is not out of fashion/

compassion is in/

it's time to win/

the fight/

with love/

be love/

spread love/

embrace love/

not hate/

hate separates/

love unites/

unties/

binds/

finds/

holds/

signs its name on our heart/

we are all a part/

of this world community/

stand in unity/

unbroken/

unspoken/

unconditional/

un-provisional.


I will rise/

stand up with you/

to celebrate/

not hate/

stand tall/

a nation that won’t fall/

because love conquers all.
