Colorblind Stars and Stripes
The stars and stripes are colorblind,
the people of all ages,
Gather in peace, tragedy unwinds,
and death and injury in its silent intensity rages.
And, I ask why?, why?, why? does this happen,
In this world, the country, this place in time and space, we live within,
Rage and fury blind me,
though I know it does not help the one who truly grieves.
And, I wonder how long?, how long?,
before the earth hears the innocent cry out,
Cruelty no longer taking its grip so strong,
Truth and love prevailing over darkness all about.
There is no light in darkness, no darkness in light,
Kaliuga age ever in blind sight,
Reaching up to grasp the sun and stars that shine, birds that fly freely,
Over an earth tattered to the sea.
Night hovers like a blanket, waiting for the day,
When evil no longer has its words to say,
Nor turmoil's fires to ensnare of its blood red walls,
that smell of blood and pain, desperate calls.
Mercy comes in doses small,
but greater than the hate that tries to enfold the world, destroy it,
And, righteousness prevails in the shadows of these desperate, deathly walls,
to save it, to save us all.
And, in the colorblind stars and stripes, God bless America,
that stands for freedom, hope and opportunity, equality, and every kind of human being, colorblind,
No one left behind, with peace in one's heart, and unity of spirit, a loving open mind, compassion does unwind.
