They say it “wasn’t sustainable”
the years of growth and community
of peace, and sensibility.
That our differences are “too widespread,”
our beliefs are "too far apart."
And so they came, trading decency for hard-line tactics
erasing truth with false statistics.
They say that we need to “buck up”
we’ve gotten “too soft”
as they gaslight, rewrite history,
releasing those who broke the law
with no thought to what they’re breaking.
Money can’t buy everything.
While it bought the presidency
and much of his immediate constituency.
with the promise of “legal” tax evasion,
it’s showcased our fragility.
Feeling lost, without direction.
we can’t give up and can’t give in—
We are the candles in the dark
the truth that cannot be erased.
The darkness holds a million stars
and we, the carriers of the light
must stand firm against the night.
