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.
