A poem by Jess Semaan

They have their snipers and we have our warriors

They have their propaganda and we have our history

They have their politicians and we have our poets

They have their c-suite and we have the people

They have sophisticated weapons and we have ancient culture

They have money (lots of it) and we have truth (lots of it)

They have greed and we have resistance

They have moral bankruptcy and we have hearts, big hearts

They have lobbies and we have grassroots communities

They have Trump and Biden and we have each other

They have the wrong side of history and we have the long arch of history
