It cannot be so
simple hands
cannot change
the fate of humanity.
Humanity is
a boundless,
absorbing heart
transcending
death & generations
and centuries
absorbing bullets
and stitches
and tear gas
enduring humiliation
and illegal abortions
and thankless jobs
the heart of Humanity
has not
and will not
be broken
And let us raise ourselves
like lanterns
with the millions of others-
with the mad
and the forgotten
and the strong of heart
to shine
"The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it." -C.C. Scott
