In a world where humans don’t see humans like themselves.<\/p>\n
They don’t see men who bleed and breathe the same.<\/p>\n
They don’t understand systemic chains of oppression<\/p>\n
They just know their life. Their struggle. They think<\/p>\n
Their stories could be similar but they don’t see<\/p>\n
what some have come to know.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is a day coming<\/p>\n
Where hope breathes true<\/p>\n
and the sun rises for all.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Questions push the edge, offering a lifeline<\/p>\n
but fear mires progress, drowning in drifts.<\/p>\n
How could he and be like me?<\/p>\n
Yeats said it best when he said<\/p>\n
“the centre cannot hold.”<\/p>\n
Desert lives crack and cry,<\/p>\n
gasping for air tainted with tumbleweed commerce, sandy greed<\/p>\n
and stubby personal gain – equality wanes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is a day coming<\/p>\n
Where hope breathes true<\/p>\n
and the sun rises for all.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So grab my hand, let’s fall on our knees,<\/p>\n
open wide our hearts and eyes, receive the rain.<\/p>\n
Sew up divisive cud with the sweet cream<\/p>\n
of humanity’s purpose and fall into<\/p>\n
a time where there is room in our oasis<\/p>\n
for all humans. I believe<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is a time coming<\/p>\n
When hope breathes true<\/p>\n
and the sun rises for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
