World Refugee Day
“On June 20 each year, the world commemorates the strength, courage, and resilience of millions of refugees. World Refugee Day was first marked in 2001. Tens of thousands of people around the world take time to recognize and applaud the contribution of those forced to flee. The annual commemoration is marked by a variety of events in over 100 countries, involving government officials, aid workers, celebrities, civilians and the forcibly displaced themselves.”

Secret Crowds
If I had my own world
I'd fill it with wealth and desire
A glorious past to admire
And voices of kids out walking dogs,
Birds, planes, cleanest cars.
If I had my own world
I'd love it for all that's inside it
There'd be no more war, death or riots
There'd be no more police, packed-parking lots,
Guns, bombs sounding off.
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence.
Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder.
