Moonshadow<\/p>\n
Poem 10<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Is it really that different from the sixties?<\/p>\n
Are we really that different?<\/p>\n
What do we want in this life?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is always a lot:<\/p>\n
to be thankful for or<\/p>\n
to complain about<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
and in this country<\/p>\n
if you\u2019re white and privileged\u2013 to have.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Moon shadows follow us<\/p>\n
reflections of who we could be<\/p>\n
and can be<\/p>\n
and wish to be.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why are we here?<\/p>\n
Is it to learn something?<\/p>\n
Is it as random as leaves falling in the breeze?<\/p>\n
Or is this time and place perfect for us?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As if a pandemic and a pathological liar president<\/p>\n
ganging up on us isn\u2019t enough\u2026maybe there\u2019s a lesson.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And if we learn it, maybe it won\u2019t be so hard next time.<\/p>\n
Or maybe just the opposite\u2026it\u2019ll be a real challenge.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
None of us know for sure.<\/p>\n
So what do we have?<\/p>\n
Love and hope and a whole lot of nothing.<\/p>\n
