Statues
Do not panic
Breathe
You have
This moment
And that
Is all
You have
All other things
That have passed
Have passed
All things that will come
Will come
But for now
Breathe
Deeply
Be with yourself
Be with everything and everyone
That is with you
Be they living
Or non-living
Appreciate the beauty of our universe
For in time
All things around us
Alive or not
Will transform
Into some different entity
Nothing last forever
Be sure of this
Statues of tyrants
Forged from enduring materials
Will topple
As the voices of the ordinary
Surge forward
And demand
Truth and respect
Be your truth
Share it
Connect it to
Your environment
And be part of
Change
9th June
The day after the statue of Edward Colston was torn down in Bristol by protestors and rolled into a canal
