In the shadows of the city’s might,
Silent cries echo through the night,
Faces hidden, stories untold,
Hearts burdened by a world so cold.
Children wander, dreams astray,
Lost in alleys where hope can’t stay,
Eyes that gleam with fleeting light,
Futures stolen in the silent fight.
Mothers weep for justice denied,
Injustice cloaked, where truth has died,
Broken systems, walls so high,
Yet they stand, and still they try.
Voices rise, a collective plea,
For a world where all are free,
In unity, they find their song,
A call for change, where all belong.
