Broken People
Disheveled,
we battle crawled
beneath barbed-wire defenses
and through undried tar roads-
searching for the One True light.
We spent our lives stuck.
The Light overhead shined-
day and night-
to those willing to see.
those who saw it once,
would see it forever.
The Light was all
that would matter.
Fingers stretched and planted
into unwelcoming ground,
dragging the scratched underbellies
of the population across the
thirsty, thoughtless Earth.
We crawled in circles,
chasing a Light
that moved with us.

Me
My community
My country
Our world
