There is no way to adequately describe how much I want to change the world.
The indoctrination of language (and lies) has taken hold and it is toxic.
It turns friends into enemies, family members into outsiders,
neighbors into scary strangers, and those on the "other" side into demons.
"what I can do is be kind, take my light with me everywhere I go"
even if it's wavering and threatening to sputter out.
I cannot let myself fall victim to the pandemic of fear and alienation.
I want large poetic gestures and a loud voice to call out to everyone
to stop this madness, and bind up the wounds that are raw and oozing blood.
We are not enemies, our country is in a chrysalis...
a liquid gruesome goo of metamorphasis
looking like a puddle of slime;
bearing NO resemblance to the
amazing creature due to emerge.
I will keep taking baby steps...baby breaths
and cling to the belief that together we will
do what must be done, to treat this raging infection
with the proper medicine to dress the wounds,
correct the wrongs, and promote healing...
decency, dignity and equality for every being.
Namaste'
