Hope In Tomorrow
There’s hope for tomorrow
In the chaos of today
tomorrows will live on
like the ripple of the oceans
and the raging rivers.
It will survive in the
eyes of our children
with dreams that refuse to die
desires that will not be undone
left for dead under the cloak of our fear.
They will create a future
without restraint
taking notes from past mistakes
and redraft a new existence.
This is my hope for tomorrow
a world of equally
no one left behind
without avarice and exclusion
Oppression will crumple under the weight
of a true freedom
The young will watch the old hate die
bury their injustices deep into the ground
only to contaminate the soil
like a malignant pesticide,
and you know where they are buried.
It will the spot where the grass no longer grows.
