For My People

For my people,
Who have seen what I have seen,
Seen love in the eyes of the ill,
Seen the truth,

For my people,
Who have wept,
Wept for minutes,
Wept for hours.

For my people,
Who have damned,
Damned the angry,
Damned the happy,
Or have damned for no reason at all.

For my people,
Who have walked the line,
Walked between happiness,
And walked between insanity.

For my people,
Who have fought,
Fought against cancer,
Without having it.

Let my people,
See for the first time,
Weep like never before,
Damn for reasons unknown,
And let my people Fight like never before.
