Wayword
She followed love
To an unknown door
Having no idea
What she was there for
The answer to all
Unrelated to situation
Spoke the words
That rang the perfect vibration
...in her soul
He sat in a cell
Boxed in by behavior
A cook in the kitchen
Treated him to a new flavor
She smiled as she presented
The food offered to the throng
A simple gesture displayed
Gave good in the presence of wrong
...systems of thinking
The babies lie in their cribs
Too many to cuddle and hold
But a touch to each
Kept hope alive til words could unfold
Lies that have captured
A culture to believe
That girls are not valued
Beyond what their wombs can conceive
...in a nation of men
There is a Way to Word
That straightens out our mess
No experience, perspective, or position
Could lead us to guess
..........meaning
