EQUAL SUFFERING (Lyrics by Michele Buchanan) > <br /><br />" Equal suffering <br />In the power of empowering <br />Empowering our cultures <br />In the power of guarding <br />The empowering of our definitions <br />Clothing ourselves in equality <br />Who we are and where we came from <br />In a world where no one comes <br />Without equal suffering <br />The power of identity of children <br />As we identify ourselves <br />And the trickster steals the rest <br />In a place and time where realization <br />Is moving without the real-IA-zation <br />Into what we left behind that is now <br />In front of us <br />In the way the suffering is equal <br />When the pain becomes unbearable <br />We will all cry together..." <br /><br />(Michele Buchanan - 6/26/2013)
