They Have To Be

Divi Newton

Determined, willful, strong, Voiceless, underrepresented. Power and fighting spirit are wild— They have to be.

Yelling and screaming are not enough, They stand in the dark, spewing emotion. These children will be the future— They have to be.

We hear the names, we know the lives lost, The children share everything. Deep emotions are visible, to get the point across— They have to be.
