The Lantern

Bear witness to the lantern’s flame, the beacon shall trumpet all by name
Kindred spirits shall be ignited, humanities torch shall be lighted
Of heart and soul, this radiant beacon, shall cause all hatred to weaken
Fueled by compassion and wisdom, the lighted orb seeks new vision
A glowing path of calm and reason, mankind’s united joyful season
Many voices lifted in harmony, kinship, the tool of golden armory
Of mind and spirit we all are one, the lantern shines for everyone
Vigilant is the cause illuminated, for all racism to be eliminated
Where darkness once resided, with lantern’s glow tranquility ignited
Guiding light to lands so cherished, love and hope shall ever flourish
Of all the stars in the heavens, compassion and truth the greatest of weapons
This Lantern’s embers, bold and bright, shall cast indifference aside
Kindled hearts shall blaze again, resilient flame of kindness reigns
Empathy, the resounding song shall serenade, as we celebrate a better fate
Benevolence and charity so embraced, tolerance and mercy by lantern graced
May the flame of dignity and respect, be the goodness and light we reflect
Bear witness to the lantern’s flame, the beacon shall trumpet all by name
