Break the Mold

Location

To which are you referring

 

The lines that you are blurring

 

The hands unheld and the tears untouched

 

Hungry, hurting, hopeless

 

Clumped together and given no distinction

 

To which are you referring

 

Misunderstood, the shoes you don’t walk in

 

All the same, they say

 

Out dated, fear driven, and not looking to understand what they can’t explain

 

To which are you referring

 

Repeating history with a different name to call it

 

Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Gandhi

 

Why does one person have to be the single thread unraveling?

 

You be that person

 

To which I am referring
