Higher Ground
I refuse to talk with bigots,
does that apply to you
And freely open up my mind,
to greet the world anew
Discriminatory and hateful barbs,
divide and tear apart
What poetry tries its best to mend,
inside an honest heart
Those few most vile hide behind
their fear inspired views
That bring about the worst in us,
to slander and accuse
As days grow short, my time is spent,
beneath a sun that shines
Speaking to the highest traits
—humanity divines
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2020)
