1/6/21

I saw you climbing

Out the corner of my eye…

Toward the halls of freedom

All I could think was

I just saw your integrity and soul die…

Are you hurting so bad

As to trade reality for madness?

Rhetorical questions aside,

I hope tomorrow will be better

And we can abide…

In a future where we stand united

And bridge the great divide…

I heard you crying out

An echo multiplied…

By a million hearts…

Yearning for no more left and right

Vanquishing the tide…

Are you ready now,

To put aside the vitrol

And complicit “ignorance is bliss” mentality?

I hope tomorrow will be better

And we can abide…

In a future where we stand united

And bridge the great divide…

I know tomorrow can be better

I’ve seen what we can do

When we just try…
