Time's UpA Poem by DanielScanlonThe vitriol, the hate, and harshness this country has endured must stop.Times Up Leaves blown, lives torn Inside out, newborn Times change, years ago That same old wind still blows
Life’s game, all blame Without knowing, or caring It’s all the same The truth lies, capsize Set free, break ties
Times up, now it’s us Falter through, betray the trust Point fingers, hate lingers Hateful words used as stingers
We must stop, reverse direction Begin to heal, a soft correction If we don’t, with our collective eyes We are responsible for our own demise
Let us grow, together strong Know our place, where we belong No more hate or vengeful words Just those in need, to be heard
Love thy neighbor as thyself It cannot be said enough As we follow through to His word We abide in abundance of His love
