November 3rd and passage of time
We fight for diversity of thought from founding father’s pens and invisible mother’s toil
Cacophony. Voices from opposing aisles. Deafen the masses.
Left liberal Right? Conservative Center shifting direction towards the edge. Loud objections, violence clashes.
” Children close your eyes.”
Injustice screams
“Children cover your ears.”
A thousand peanut butter and jam sandwiches, bedtime stories, bandages on skinned knees. Strength and intention to protect and grow you. My citizen of the world.
And yet. This shift. Bigger than all of us. Because of all of us.
A darkness hides the sun. Do not reach to touch it child. It is too hot.
I cannot protect you from this. I can only give you smoked glass to avoid blindness.
I cannot lessen the sound of the explosions, I can only give you cotton for your ears.
I cannot stop the cacophony, I can only hope you see more sides than we do. Your open, flexible and joyous heart. The promise of you. A promise.
