Shirley Klein Poem
Posted On 11/23/2008 13:39:18 by disabledworld

Our voices united,
The peril undone
We stand tall together,
But we've only begun.

Our freedoms are threatened,
Our lives on the line
We don't have tomorrow,
Today is our time.

Let our unity thunder,
Till power and greed
Both crumple before,
The depth of our need.

Let our unity Clamor,
For all who have died
Because no one would hear them,
Or come to their side

The whole world is watching,
To see where we stand
The whole world is waiting,
Come on - take my hand


By Shirley Klein

Klein wrote this poem especially for a California Disability Community Action Network Rally in 2003. She passed away May 2007 in Grass Valley, California.
