What Is Right Is Right
I can feel my waters
Stirred breath
ready to shed my uncertainty
serenity felt
at my cerebral knowing
the hurricane that is brewing
along our tidal banks
holding my calm precious
aroused by complacent absurdity
senseless ambiguity
to keeping the candle lit or snuffed
Society in peril
sweeping winds of pretentious
needs of our resistance
greedy hands will
cut swaths of verticil
barren our hearts will be on the land
our compass has come home
for us to stand against the wailing cry
my silence no more has ability
though alone I may stand
sometimes this hill is enough
soon our gale could prevail
I see layers built to last the weather
seedlings blown
against the shore’s beginning
grown fearless against the tides push
strong steadfast pathways
taken through hard questions asked
scattered across paroxysmal lands
narrowed by corrupted lies
still, what’s right by your lived creed
what’s right is right, what’s
Right with the wind
