Kindness can't be beaten
and the water within us sings
lets words be spoken, released on tonque
makes new spaces, for us to hang out and spin
where eyes have seen oppression
where hearts have ridden waves of pain
time travels, wants our voices to be heard
stories to be shared freely with the world
with inks running with honesty
tries to show people what we have seen.
Across the globe
some people finding it hard to breathe
so gather round, and help these pulses flow
to turn again, to become sparks in the afterglow
a dazzle in the rain, singular defiant voices rising
songs across the land, blazing with truth
creating and destroying, tearing up old rules
feeding new ideas, needed for survival
allowing the weight of the world
to come tumbling, crushing down.
Remember, all the beauty of this earth
follow sources of diversity, all the ways of life
caught and captured on the winds to refresh
beyond the closed systems, against intolerance
truth is simple, glides carefully from one heart to another
can nourish us as we wait, for iniquities to pass
with a rich tapestry of dreams within us
searching beyond interwoven ***** of worry
allowing all to keep pushing, soaring, roaring
waiting patiently for something to change.
Whispering true words, of simplicity
with individual choruses of surfacing reason
against hopelessness, despair, and fear
the lies and discourse that taint and smear
pendulums of justice infusing memories with shame
putting obstacles in the way, pointing fingers of blame
words carve a path to the futures corridor
bringing fresh hope, for all voices to explore
wading through days of stumbling confusion
the past is pinned down, reaches for conclusion.
