LIKE AN ISLAND
I’m quarantined
Learning to love my aloneness
Not concerning ceremonious womanliness,
Maintain a harmonious
Fighting to survive intolerance, tight feistiness of ruin,
from wealthy brothers and sisters.
The poor give more than wealthy do
usually more generous of spirit
poor pay higher taxes
Trumped by a white house orange debacle
Citizens dying from streptococcal
symptoms - live in mass pandemonium
people blind like they’re on opium
sanctimonious created fraudulent-ness
intolerantness speaks loudly, devoutly, profoundly evil
worldly unrest and upheaval
quarantine inside my abode
carry a heavy load
my body bowed
inability to unload
keep a heavy workload
dreading the next episode
of color code, religious code, computer codes
hate showed –
snowed in about to implode
lifestyles eroding with each new foreboding
will we ever overcome
see what we can become
if to love and tolerance we succumb
Solve Problem: make humanity less dumb
Embrace love and tolerance
Together, overcome
Stop being overrun
beat my drum till that day comes
pray to raise awareness that love is everywhere
Love is everywhere
