Poem: Because You Exist -- In memory of all the persecuted Falun Gong practitioners in China

Something will change
Because deeds of such inhumanity
Cannot be veiled any longer;
Seeing them, mankind will rise up for justice.

Something will change
From police officers' actions,
In the face of your courage and forbearance,
Because you embody the truth with open hearts.

Something will change
In people's minds all over the world.
Something will change
Because you exist.
