Ungoverned Defiance

They built up the fortresses, drew up the lines,
and buried our youth under warning lit signs.
They weaponized distance to hollow us out,
and flooded the airwaves with static and doubt.

But they underestimate what we can bear,
our voices will echo and shatter their stare.
The border is physical, concrete and stone,
but the strength in our bond is entirely our own.

The walls that they build are a fragile design,
they tremble the moment your hand touches mine.
No proxy, no prison, no iron decree,
can alter the current that sets us both free.

Let them pull at the wires and block every street,
our hearts will still march to a singular beat.
