EQUAL SUFFERING (Lyrics by Michele Buchanan) >

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