O brother, tell us where you've been! What is the world like beyond these trenches?
Is it safe to crawl out β we heard the wolves were just 'were-' with a sweet tooth. Won't you help us sniff out the lotus from the roses, their thorns so cleverly hiddenβ¦
Sisters, we're tired of hiding in the dark, our eyelids shut by the nurse's damp cloth;
To our champions: were you blessed in your travails? Did you find the loving, the caring, the fabled Happy People that Nashville balladeers croon about?
brave children, remember to return; we dreamed of setting foot in a place of our own, too. does one exist in their world ||
// NOT THEIR WORLD NOT OURS EITHER BUT ALL OF OUR UNIVERSE //
I was thinking about minorities and marginalised groups, that it takes individuals braving uncertainty and doubt to blaze a trail for everyone else. We stand on the shoulders of giants.
