  • Black Lives Matter

    I wrote this poem several years ago, but the sentiment hasn’t changed. It’s time to rededicate. We all live in one world, and without each other everyone loses. I support Black Lives Matter.

    GLASS SWAN

    Our world is like a glass swan

    Beautiful and fragile

    It will take all of us working together to keep it whole

    End the hate

    End the violence

    Black Lives Matter

    Voices jabber around me like crows, spitting harsh, cold words. They battle over differences, snubbing those who are not the same.

    Invisible, I walk among them, whispering brotherhood. Lift one up, steady another. Silent, unseen, I plant compassion

    A spark of truth births understanding. Only to be beaten down by those who refuse to accept. Even the flame of truth can’t survive a tsunami of ignorance and hate.

    I take a deep breath, then move through them again. I cannot cease. I will not, until the squalls and misunderstandings are resolved. Until all the world sings together.
