Wisdom and Truth

Have you noticed
Somberness; despair
Eye to eye embraces
Of emptiness; of fear

Listen to the voices

Pay attention to words
This is not a passing fad
Reality, seen and heard

Not a particular place

A focus not zeroed in
Not a particular race
In a battle as one kin

Every day is a challenge

There is no turning back
It is time for all of us
To take up a bit of slack

We must unite as one

Never to run and hide
Remain faithful to truth
Swim against the tide

Have you noticed

Faces resembling you
Eyes embracing the Light
Of Wisdom and Truth
