🪷 Toward a Kinder World
another poem of processing my feelings about current events
There's a boy in my city
who just lost his parents
because they disowned him
when he came out as gay.
There are families all over
being brutally torn up
because they're "illegal"--
or just in the way.
This cruelty (in the name
of country and God!)
keeps keeping me
in shock and dismay.
(A younger me once
cheered for that team--
how glad I am
I got away.)
I will keep grieving
and keep reaching
toward a kinder world
someday.
