we grow weary
of the world’s insane ways
we weep
for the madness of unnecessary pain
the repetition of futility
we voice
in raspy cries and beautiful songs
we march
our exhausted bodies through
hot breath, stench of lies and long-winded
distractions
we speak the truth through noise
and though intolerance resists
we persist in acceptance
we share
in the face of greed
we connect
in the face of division
we Love
in the face of fear
because Compassion never dies
it grows roots, waters hearts
with Grace, composts the tired
decaying branches of another fallen empire
and from this fertile soil of release
Life eternal emerges freely
and we Are
forever Victorious
