This poem is hope
in rockets’ red glare,
prayers rising through flames.
This poem is unity
where men plant war,
empathy in the cacophony
of sermons that call it sin.
This poem is human,
the color red, hands
that lift, feet that
walk the path of courage,
resilience in in the blindness of discord.
This poem is the audacity of hope
This poem is empathy.
This poem is unity in a world hungry for war.
