It has been written,
That life is but a cycle,
From ashes to ashes,
From dust to dust,

We must,
We must.
It is much easier to love,
It is much easier to love.

“There comes a time when people get tired of being trampled by the iron feet of oppression.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
No way we let people die on the street, and we have the nerve to call ourselves the best country on earth.
