Our Roots Are Deep
A poem

They may cut us down
but we grow back
strong as oak trees
with more resilience
and strength than before
Our roots are deep,
our wills, indomitable
Though fear and danger
surround us as darkness
envelopes night,
we rise again
to an ebullient future
no sword nor pen
can plow
