#we will rise above
A Hellenic’s Prayer For Justice
May Allfather Zeus hold His children close, for they are in pain
May Allmother Hera hold Her hand of justice over those who freely let bullets rain
May armed Athena hold Her ground
May angry Ares turn theirs upside down
May warlike Aphrodite show us love
May motherly Demeter help lift us above
May kindly Hestia let Her fires rise
May hardworking Hephaestus not turn His eyes
May thundering Poseidon send waves of peace
May brave Artemis make these fears cease
May shining Apollo heal our hearts
May wild Dionysus never let us fall apart
May trustful Hermes carry our cries
May swift footed Iris squander their lies
May regal Hades comfort the dead
May iron Queen Persephone have their names read
May victorious Nike be firm and fair
May whip wielding Nemesis hold them in Her stare
May dark Hekate guide us through this night
May peaceful Harmonia be with us during this plight
May ever seeing Helios expose their crimes
May the strong Erinyes make it hard to wash their hands of the blood and grime
May mother Gaia scream their names
May powerful Nyx frighten their evil reign
May gentle Hypnos bring sleep to the needy
May fearful Eris bring terror to the greedy
May saddened Thanatos dry our tears
May ever present Khaos squander our fears
May illuminating Selene hold our hands
May the gods bring justice that is quick and grand
To the victims of Uvalde, may you Rest In Peace
To their families, friends, and coworkers, may you one day find this pain released
To the survivors who are frightened, may your loved ones be around
To the injured and scarred, may your minds soon be sound
And to those responsible
Politicians, police, and more
May you hear our pained cries at your very door
May your tyranny end
May we the people be safe
May you end this battle
If you truly have what it takes
And if you do not
Then may you resign
And may you always remember
The pain, the lies
To the kind soul reading this
We will rise above
Never forget these three words:
You are loved
