With a Flick of the Wrist

With an outstretched hand we can show who we are:

friend or foe, weak or strong, cruel or kind.

With nerves of steel and will unbending

we can stand our beliefs,

and share the subtle reminder

that we will not be silent.

So go ahead, take your best shot!

We will not bend or fold to your will;

we are more resilient than you know.

We are Legion, in numbers you cannot fathom.

Lash out with your bitter words

as you try to subdue the masses.

We don’t need to shout to be heard;

with a flick of the wrist your words are undone,

and try as you might, she's already won.
