From the original poem RAISE THEM UP, by JC Cannon

lyrics

Raise Them Up

In the wake of anger and apathy...
In the dawn of death and outrage...
As the sun rises on another mother's pain...

I implore you,
Raise men.

Don't react by breeding cattle.

Don't respond by training your sons to fear death
Raise them to refuse to die for nothing.


Instill in them to be wise and thoughtful in their decisions.
Instruct them to live this life with purpose.
Teach them that there are those who do not value their existence...
Make certain that they are not among them.

Be careful not to deny them their spirit of freedom
Be mindful not strip them of their willingness to live boldly.
Be brave enough to let them make mistakes and occasionally fail.

Raise them brave and strong.
Raise them wise and aware.
Raise them willing to die for something deserving of their incalculable worth.

Arm them with dignity and honor...
Protect them with confidence and consciousness
Enable them with discernment and judgment

Fear would have you make them sheep...
It would have you sacrifice pride for precaution
Reject the notion that self-preservation and subjugation are synonymous

In the face of temptation to raise them to be afraid...
Teach them that pride doesn't require a senseless sacrifice.
Being proud is not a good reason to die.

Raise them to protect their lives when others do not.
Raise them up.
Please…
I implore you...
Raise men.
