Free Tibet - @tibettruth

We have a sacred history.  We have a vibrant culture.  We have a will to survive.
You look at us and turn your head - like you are ashamed to acknowledge us.
Do not look away. Acknowledge our existence.

We have a sacred history.  We have a vibrant culture.  We have a will to survive.
You think the only value we have is in what you give us in the eyes of the world.
Do not define our value. Acknowledge our intrinsic value.

We have a sacred history.  We have a vibrant culture.  We have a will to survive.
You believe you can integrate us against our will and no one will care or notice.
Do not try to integrate us.  Acknowledge we are sovereign.

We have a sacred history.  We have a vibrant culture.  We have a will to survive.
You think you can disappear us by changing names on a map and no one will care.
Do not invalidate us on a map.  Acknowledge we have our own names.

We have a sacred history.  We have a vibrant culture.  We have a will to survive.
You believe you can remove us by taking away our sovereignty .
Do not dispute our sovereignty.  Acknowledge our identity.

To the world around us.  We are a sovereign nation with an historical cultural heritage as worthy of our independence as yours.  You are outraged at genocide, invasion of sovereign nations, and imperialistic expansion.  Where is your outrage on our behalf?  We look to the world, to each of you, for help and assistance.  We endure the merciless slaughter of our people and the horror of this stealthy take-over.  The media does not tell our story.  We tell it ourselves.

Will you not listen?  Will you not help?  Or will you be their puppets in silent assistance of our demise?
We have a sacred history.  We have a vibrant culture.  We have a will to survive.
We are the people, the spirit, and the supporters of Tibet.  Free us.
