I don't know about you but this "messy, howling creature"
has been acting this way for quite some time now.
I'm not sure it's necessary to calm her down...
better to give her a magic carpet and a map to places
that need to hear her roar.
Perhaps lend her a band with trumpets playing reveille
to gather goodness into one giant song
weaving us into one boisterous chorus,
with speakers reaching every heart...
to reconnect us and put an end to indecency,
so we remember the forgotten,
rebuild and strengthen fairness...
applying it generously...leaving no one out.
Return honest justice to our lands and people.
Then we can begin repairing what's been broken...
healing what is ailing...
reconnecting neighbors... mending divisions...
honoring lost lives... comforting those hurting...
letting teachers teach... evening the playing field...
ripening what is unripe in ourselves and our world.
Let's welcome this "messy, howling creature".
We need her.
We need us.
