Poem
Mis En Place' (Everything In Its Place} Arrange it all Piece by piece Step by step Make your world fall in line With the New Time. Forget the Before; Anticipate the After There is no real moment aside from this. Lay it all out Day by day One step follows another One by one Because there is no plan; Moments march on As you try to make yourself fill time constructively, But you dither, Because there's always tomorrow. Day or night, What does it matter? You've oceans of time; Drift through the dark depths There's always tomorrow Before you drown. The invisible enemy Holds us in its thrall We hide from one another We hide from ourselves We face the endless days Huddled in our huts, Craving one another Fearing one another We shall of course come through this Though who can say at what cost. I hope in the end it will make us burn for connection, To celebrate how unified we truly can be. Let us learn from this the vast family we are, Bound by blood and hope, refusing to submit, As we so often do, To the cold, indifferent judgement of Fate. Grieve, yes grieve my Brethren, For all the loss and all the pain. Shatter the skies with your laments, Make the gods shed bloody tears for us. We will pass through this fire Emerge purified; Stronger yet. This is Mankind. We do not surrender. Face the Truth, hold the loss To your hearts, Grieve and weep and let the sorrow Burn into your bones - Yes! But in the end, Remember who you are: Sapiens, masters of the world. You will survive You will prevail. You will NOT submit to Anything. My Brothers and Sisters, Unite with me in common belief That that which does not kill us Makes us stronger. Yes, this will slay many of our tribe, Steep us deep in sorrow. Embrace the pain of loss, show the gone-before That we are stronger for our pain; Show them we will fight to honor them. We will not submit to this; We will emerge the stronger.
