I believe that everything has an end
The fighting and the freedom
the dark and the light
I believe that there will be a day when no warplanes take flight
where kids will run and play
And no one will be able to their fun away
I believe that there will be a day when people will be able to see beyond their veil, beyond
the evils that the world allows to prevail
I believe there will be a day where Black and Brown women won't have to live in fear
that their house will be bombed
or that their family members have lost an ear
I have seen the day when all was lost in this world
Where children died
Parents cried
there is no food supply
Political leaders lied
teen girls were left severely blind
Mothers gave birth while missiles flew by
And we all turned a blind eye
and we all said
Thank God it's not us
Thank God we are safe
Thank God we live here
In a country that vetoes a ceasefire and supports genocide
And we all act like it is okay here
I believe there will come a day when it all ends
Where everything stops and blood is no longer being shed
I believe there where be a day when Palestine is free
the children will run and laugh and be well-fed
there will be food and water beyond what the eyes can see
Mothers will have safe births and bring life in places with functioning lights and amenities
Men will leave their homes and know that their families are ensured safety
I believe it will all end soon
I believe it because the oppressor cannot have their cake and eat it too
I believe The Revolution will be loud and I believe it is coming soon
Your’s truly,
Alanna Mia Cordero
