Dedicated to Heather Heyer and all who died for the right to confront the Right <\/i><\/p>\n
Our friends were not silent
\nIn solidarity stood
\nTo protest and to witness
\nThose who divide by colour and blood
\nWhere the white right unite
\nClaiming that they were born great
\nThose who spoke for good stood
\nFell in the face of fanatics hate.<\/p>\n
They could have killed a thousand
\nThey killed one: we know her name
\nA banner – a slogan for love over hatred
\nWhy Christ to be crucified to earth came.<\/p>\n
They can burn their wooden crucifixes –
\nTheir history of hate can tell…
\nWe all will face judgement day on death:
\nThey will burn with their crosses in hell!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
