I awaken while it is still quiet
Something is shifting in my heart
Everyday in limbo
Watching the have’s and the have not’s
They go at it pointing fingers
Those with masks staying inside
Driving with them on and the windows up
Fear has gripped the hearts of many
Others have a different approach
Breathing the free air they refuse to wear
Something that makes them claustrophobic
Commercials everywhere of those who capitalize
These times they are an opportunity
But they are tearing us apart
Judgement and divide
All while politicians hide
They the biggest opportunists of all
But then there is just one
Me or you
We are more than votes
We live to breathe
Give me liberty
Tired of the spinning
And playing on our emotions
There is a fire burning in my heart
One that cannot be denied
It has burned off the useless rubble
Thoughts and concerns too small
There is a desire to live
To grow and prosper
There is no substitute
For the satisfaction of working hard
Of dreaming and building
It is unnatural to submit
To something you know is going to harm
You and others you know
Forced to wait
The heart grows weary
The mind is challenged
Daily the monotony
Staying focused but to what end
Trying to accomplish something
But for what
Now is the time
To connect to the higher self
The one who knows that nature
Cures and teaches
What lessons will we learn
Will we be forever altered
By the deeds of a few
We’ve been brought to our knees
Now it is time to use them
To fight with our hearts
Against the stagnation of our nation
It is time to bow our hearts
To lift our heads
To believe that the actions of some
Will not crush us all
I refuse to be a pawn
So easily sacrificed
It is now that I ask for wisdom
To travel this treacherous path
To believe that it will lead me
To greener pastures
We are not weak
We are strong
We cannot give into fear
We will triumph over all
Our enemies will lose their way
No one knows the origin
Of the will and intent they strive for
But today I ask the Creator of us all
To right the wrongs
It will be in exchange for something
Our hearts and minds
Must cleanse and focus
On love not hate
On unity not divide
On gratitude for life
Listen now
The truth is waiting in the wind
Open your hearts
And just feel a prayer
Seek the best you
Be mindful of what you think
Tune out the noise
Let your heart be your guide
And if it’s in your power to do good
Do it
If it’s in your skill set to make a difference
Do it
Everyday access your heart
Your thoughts and deeds
Did they truly serve humanity
Make the alterations necessary
To bring us together
Let this time purify our heart
Not harden it
And may peace be our guide
