I watch
And I wait
Worry and wonder
Surely they’ll see
Maybe today’s the day
But the hate continues
The divisiveness remains
Blind eyes turn once again
Ears refuse to hear
Or upon hearing, refuse to listen
These are our sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, CHILDREN
Skin is skin is skin…
The human plight is OUR plight
The crumbling country is OUR country
The hopeless suffering is OUR suffering
The uncertain future is OUR future
What once seemed a joke, is now simply sad
And the anger roars and the words cut
And suddenly the truth doesn’t matter
And suddenly the truth doesn’t matter?
When did this happen?
How did this happen?
Why did this happen?
The fear
The fury
The “faith”
The future?
And suddenly the truth doesn’t matter?
