Only Us
The lines
That we draw.
The mines
We lay.
The lies.
The rage.
The hate.
The bloodied
Razor’s edge.
All That we might
Serve
The fevered high
Of some flickering tale.
Stories told
By stories.
Shadows cast
By shadows.
Children.
Gasoline.
Matches.
Burn, baby, burn.
And it’s hard.
It is so so hard
But
There ain’t no
Us and them
No lesser souls
No greater mortals
No walls
No borders
No great divides
One us
One heart
One soul
One shining
Morning
one quiet
Night.
One battered
Boundless
Hopeful heart
One soul rising
Again and again and
Again
Remembering
Remembering who we really are.
