Swirling into ONE
by Cindee Snider Re Swirling red inflamed, Crushing thousands Voices, drums, fists pounding, Scarring Doors of Justice. Gutted landings full, Deafening, chanting, railing Voices coalescing into Singular ambition, HEAR US! Lamentation universal Beyond this present state, And borders artificial, Empyrean cry From the depths of Eden, Desperate to be heard. Shoeless, homeless, Hungry, ill. Consumed, depleted, Devoid of will. Hear me. See me. Listen. Please. Invisible Still. A timeless war, Incessant battle Of bleeding segregation Rupturing humanity, Rending, tearing, cleaving Us sinew from sinew. Divided we fall, For we are more Than one flag, One race, One nation. We are ONE PEOPLE! Dust of earth, Breathed into life, Sculpted image of The Holy, I AM. One Body, Sacred, Treasured, Whole. ONE. Cindee Snider Re lives in Sussex, WI with her husband, their five children, two cats, and two Shichon puppies. She enjoys quiet evenings, long walks, good books, homeschooling her kids, and lots of good, strong, hot, black tea.
