In lands where shadows cast their longest veil,
The cries of souls once bound, now softly wail.
A history penned in sorrow, blood, and pain,
Where hearts were severed in a cruel disdain.

The walls of silence, built on fear and lies,
Divided dreams beneath the same blue skies.
Injustice branded on each weary face,
A haunting echo of a darkened place.

Yet in the ashes of this shattered past,
Resilience blooms, a hope that will outlast.
The chains of old give way to voices strong,
In unity, the world can right its wrong.

Remember, always, those who stood and fought,
For freedom’s light in places darkness sought.
Let not their struggles fade in time’s embrace,
But guide our steps toward a just, fair space.
