Note: A reflection on the recent change of leadership in the US.
New Day
Reporting facts
Not fact-checking lies
Honesty
Transparency
The truth
Not crimes
Someone Who Knows what it is to be bullied
To suffer loss
To love
Not The Bully
Mocking
Assaulting women
Distortion, violence, and lust
Before …
Daily deceitful action towards
Personal gain
Puppet show of shame
Never-ending thirst
Self over others
Murderous intent
At every turn
Taking life
To feed the unsatiated appetite
Of
Greed
Greed: Pulls every string
After…
Clear day
Giving
Providing
Welcoming
A desire to do what is right
This is not (merely) a change of power
It is a new day
This light
Air to breathe
To see and to hear
With clarity
Together
Truth
And
Care
The soul breathes out
To now not be bombarded
With the erratic weaponised words of
The cult leading national abuser
(1460 days of propaganda, lies, and harm..)
The world thankful
Relieved
Here is the line: No further
Movement towards: Repair
Space…
Breath
and
Calm
(…*Silence*….)
In which to think
In safety
Towards the horizon
And the faces of caring …not fear.
And the actions of compassion …not hate.
And the voices of truth … not deceit.
And trusting and loving …
We, Together: Intentionally, Forward
(As the words and hands
Of the poet – remind us always – to
Marry words and action)
And the words
Of the poet
Lead us on …
Light the Lamp
