The People

stay safe. :)

Lack of breath and lack of love,

has lost the wind and song above,

broken dreams and losing strength,

focused only on arm's length,

 

facing music, facing guilt,

here's our rose to die and wilt,

painful stories come to think,

blaring shots at one eye's blink,

 

here's my child, think of me,

when you stare at what I see,

think of love and, hon, stay brave,

here's the people--come to save,

 

keep them safe and don't you cry,

'cause strength is soaring when you try,

hold my hand and walk with me,

let's walk on and set them free.

This is such a well-written and inspirational piece. :) Meter & rhyme were both flawless and your use of language was beautiful. I love the lines "facing music, facing guilt, / here's our rose to die and wilt," Gorgeous!

I love it. What a wonderful message, with great delivery- un-pompous, uncomplicated, and undoubtedly good.
