Crucible Moment
This world’s
sustained drama
seductively alluring,
leaving us
choking on
bits of broken
dreams,
shattered
memories,
ludicrous
lies …
Time to awaken
from sleep!
Strip away oxgoads
that constrain us,
that restrain us,
that bind us to past errors
preventing success
Allow us to roam
across fields,
vast and varied,
expansive fields of
endeavor that speak
to humanity’s
greatest needs—
Hearts can beat stronger
Lungs can breath freely
Minds can then grasp …
The truth!
