Me you them all of us

 

Oh protesters oh businessmen oh politicos oh lobbyists

Oh crazy people oh sane people oh children oh aging tired ones

Oh veterans oh angry ones oh spiritual healers

Oh me Oh you Oh them Oh all of us.

 

Oh all of us asleep.

 

I you they scared no one knows me, you, earth

 

I you they hate what we don’t know

I you they not who you think I am I am not I am not

You have ignored and numbed we am

you have disdained and want to fuck we are

So a wish to scratch your eyes out, rip your body apart

It is so your entire

façade crumbles

 

revealing

A soft breathing

Wanting to be good

 

Each of us has given our everything

our bodies our wallets our time our souls

our pleas our prayers our pain

our sleep

our planet

 

until we stand fortified

until we want to be together

until we know ourselves

as song, sunshine, solidarity

 

nothing but good for me, you, they

knowing can bring down the armor

that sold us loss

breathing breathing they, you, I

fusing passionate we
