gentleness

even the rain!

and you, too-----may be

gentle, if you so choose

--

amid the massive suffering
that is here

---------

soon

the country shall be broken completely

only poverty and violence shall be here

only war and crying children
amid

love songs

love songs prostituted

by greed

--------

amid the suffering

and the fear

------------

gentleness

even you!

even you may still

live for justice

for a while
