Huge egos- blinded by greed
leading us nowhere
Tweeting, texting, mocking
normal conversations
Pure White doves flying around
carrying olive branches
Shot down- silencing peace
stifling truth
Confusion breeding pain & panic
guns blasting away-
Its children-
Fear & Ignorance
Compassion communicating
Commonsense listening
Lifting lonely survivors-
not failures-off of sidewalks
Our arms wide open- welcoming
Immigrants- our invisible workers
Allowing Everyone -
a life without fear
Lady liberty holding a flaming torch
Head high, no shame
Lighting a path for displaced humans
People escaping wars & worse
Money no longer dictating everything
who comes-who stays
Rainbows- not colored red like-
Blood spilling over
Marching - arm in arm
for equality &justice
ignoring acrid hatred hiding
behind fake smiles
We must take to the streets-
signs held high above our heads
Voices-no longer mute
Actions shouting out!
Broken promises & dead dreams
Rising like- a phoenix
Painting positive pictures
with truth
I envision us- building bridges
of hope
poor, holding hands
with rich
Resurrecting a melting pot- forlorn & forgotten
welcoming growth, love, peace
spurting tiny buds of humanity
growing- equality for all…
