where is your heart
...you who are raised on love
resistant to the stains of hatred and brutality
able to shake off
retribution
of those who
are guilty
seeking to paint their crimes
upon your spirit+soul
whose views
are based upon
slight of hand
and demands that you
conform
to a higher standard than
Jesus
those whose views
cast shade on every step of progress
made to the process
of humanity
those whose
vanity
precedes
thoughtful conversation...
those
who are not yet
lost
yet
not, yet
found
as we
all
come of age
we must embrace
who we are
all
of it
our strengths
are
our weaknesses
abandon the false pride
our defense
against
discovery
of who we are
all
of us
must first strip away
the layers of clay
of a mask
we entertain ourselves with
and be...
we
the people
