Hostile environment
Fighting for our lives
Wondering if this step will be our last
Matters of opinion
Nuclear threat
Clash of small minds
Speaking for the millions
Sitting in a room
With a panic button
While we are out here fighting
Our lives being lost
Fighting for ideals we don’t always agree with
For we believe in the flag
And what it represents
We stand for all people
Not just the few
This war we are in
Not fought afar
But in our backyard
Inside our schools
Inside the office
Inside our bodies
Hundreds taking a stand
Some on bended knee
Doing what they can
To shout intolerances
Draw attention to wrongs
Banding together
Taking it to the streets
Marching
United
In today’s hostile environment
A new soldier emerges
