Our hearts need a refresher course in mercy and love,
when we let our government cage children
forced from their mother's arms;
while we stay silent!
Life is harsh, and pain is a part of it;
but, so too, is love!
Often feelings of compassion surface
only to be ignored,
as we retreat to the darker corners of our minds.
Our voice is as important as any other,
and yet, we feel it'll make no difference,
so, we choose to stay mute.
Our fears and frustrations
hide within shifting shadows,
as though ashamed to be seen.
Although we are all slaves to our reality,
if we allow our feelings full reign
we open ourselves up to a whole world
of new sensations that can alter those realities.
We need to sever the political head of Medusa
so our hearts no longer turn to stone,
under the intolerant gaze of bigots and hate mongers.
And affirm that humanity's moral foundation
is an extension of our faith,
and we will no longer remain silent.
After death; it's our souls God will judge,
not our political affiliations.
