Eclipse
Cinderella is not supposed to give back the golden slipper
But some fool misinterpreted the message
The boy is not supposed to end up in prison
But someone did not follow the correct parental guidance
The man in the sweat lodge for the first time thought he was to be reborn
But keeper in the sweat lodge was too afraid to die
The eclipse over America is supposed to be sacred and honorable
But someone was murdered in Harlottesville all over America
A man’s heart is not supposed to cry
But the eclipse shadowed love and light
