PEOPLE OF PROCESS

There he sits
In a cell of choice
Paying the price
For shattered voice

She stands on a stage
Belting out words of hope
Inside, cowering in a corner
With a frayed rope

They hold their signs
Gather in crowds
Shouting powerless views
To attempt a break down
...of numbers

Isolated in countries
Without a proper home
Everyone comes in
But leaves them, alone

Humanity straddles the knife
Begging for a peaceful life
Finding division and descension
While prophesying ascension

Those who follow LOVE
Have no beginning or end
Flowing through process
Even when...

        again and again
