Voices, echo

Words crawl inside
the collective mind,
a world yet to be turned
from such madness

of race and
division

for how shall we come together
and truly begin to see each other –
not beyond skin and history,
but somewhere within it?

Some men rise from ash
and assassination —
women do, too —
these fragile bonds
of possibilities linger
in the imagination as

Voices, echo

Peace (and progress),
Kevin

  1. “for how shall we come together
    and truly begin to see each other –
    not beyond skin and history,
    but somewhere within it?”

    such powerful words, the question calling for hope…

    a perfect fit weaving the past into today.
