Real love knows
no violence
neither does peace
truth and justice—
All God’s equanimities;
No longer
can we dwell in silence;
revelations reflect the proof
of history’s inequalities;
Shadowing the story
of me and you
justice is not a scale
but a balance
leveling the distance
between we two;
Yet we refuse to become
like our adversary,
yet seek to win
by whatever means
necessary;
If this is as it must be,
let's accept without apology,
our manifest destiny.
