A light for the world – v2

They are a light for the world,
in this moment of darkness,
A hope that is rising, growing,
as together they stand resolute…
 
The fight that they fight is our fight,
a hope of a brighter tomorrow,
from the defeat of tyrants and terrorists,
a just peace will surely rise…
 
They are a light to the world,
in this moment of darkness,
The stand in the gap for all of us,
while evil is on the march…

Quote attributed to Lee Atwater,
“Perception is reality.”
Quote attributed to Gustave Flaubert
“There is no truth. There is only perception.”
Quote attributed to Aldous Huxley,
“There are things known and there are things unknown,
and in between are the doors of perception.”
Quote attributed to George Monbiot
“What you see is not what others see.
We inhabit parallel worlds of perception,
bounded by our interests and experience.
What is obvious to some is invisible to others.”
