A poem for Democracy Now! 29th birthday !

 ### **A Candle for Justice**


In the glow of candles bright,  

We gather to honor what is right,  

For justice shines through every year,  

A beacon of hope, a call to hear.


Democracy stands, bold and true,  

With voices rising, breaking through,  

From Leonard’s fight to stories untold,  

Injustice faced, and courage bold.


Each flame a promise, each flicker a dream,  

In unity’s embrace, we find our theme,  

For every soul, a rightful place,  

In the tapestry of the human race.


With hearts ignited, we seek to mend,  

The wounds of the past, on justice depend,  

Let’s lift each other, hand in hand,  

Creating a world where all can stand.


So here’s to the journey, the miles we’ve come,  

To the battles fought, and the victories won,  

On this special day, let our voices rise,  

For justice and peace, beneath open skies.
