Society moves en masse,
flowing with the tides,
propelled by a shared
consciousness.
Destination unknown;
purpose undetermined.
We take flight, cling
to wings of promise,
ignore the stench
of destruction.
Reaching for the sky;
barely hanging on.
We land, school together
tell tales of adventure
document progress
avoid reality
proponents of diversity;
shunning differences
All among us has a story
shies from speaking aloud
fears castigation
deflects
fearlessly outspoken:
scapegoating sins.
Daring to speak a truth,
I falter, watch as the
crowd retreats in
shunning silence.
Destination unknown,
purpose undetermined.
This is beautiful!
