  2. A Silent Song of Solidarity

    Only one has the power to destroy me
    No one else is strong enough for such a task
    Except for me but I want to enjoy me
    I need a miracle now and so I ask

    And I know it will be granted unto me
    That I can fly blind into the future now
    To a new and unfamiliar destiny
    I believe it will be glorious somehow

    I have a good reason to embrace my fate
    Good reason to be happy and not look back
    I was a late bloomer but I have bloomed late
    With all I need now and with nothing I lack

    I can be extremely persuasive daresay
    And I am alive to survive and to thrive
    I am here to stay and will not go away
    My being alive makes the world more alive

    There is hope for me and I can see the day
    When the sun comes up and my troubles are gone
    In a truly encouraging coming dawn
    For which until it comes I stubbornly wait

    God is not nor would be finished with me yet
    I seize my future with hope without regret
    With a silent song of solidarity
    Arising when my poems are read by you

    And you do read them (thank you) I know you do
    It is you who give me the ability
    To be able to survive and make it through
    Only one has the power to destroy me

    No one else is strong enough for such a task
    Except for me but you seem to enjoy me
    So I will fly blind into the future now
    To a new and unfamiliar destiny

    I will be luminous and transcendental
    And above all else I will always be free
    To explore the primal and fundamental
    Archetypes of this our shared humanity

    Since I have been judged I am not judgmental
    All I want to do is share the empathy
    Which I have learned the hard way over these years
    Love and lift you up and dry away your tears

    I can do this since I know about crying
    I know what it feels like to be all alone
    With not enough living and too much dying
    But let us rise up and make our world our own

    If it is not for us then who is it for?
    Those rich and rapacious monsters out for blood?
    We know what is right and we are asking more
    For people less for profit: the greater good

    The concept today is little understood
    We poor are poorer while ever before us
    The rich are richer and smirking at us all
    They will be surprised when they fall in the fall

    No matter how hard they try to ignore us
    Because above all else we are always free
    To explore the primal and fundamental
    Archetypes of this our shared humanity

    This is how we are and how we have to be
    All we have to do is share our empathy
    Our overwhelming human propinquity
    Will call to us always to rise and be free
