So full
so close
to the Earth
Bigger brighter
lightening the darkness
now slowly waning
Longer days
give some hope
though belief alone
isn’t enough
Wolves,
howling in hunger
outside our door
breed fear
How did this happen?
Who do we blame?
Who will help us now?
When dawn alights
on the cancer
of our indifference
our suffering energy
turns to awareness
of wrongs done to us
the rights taken from us
informed now —
take action
read thoughtfully
write deliberately
study diligently
think critically
gather collectively
listen attentively
discuss cogently
engage publicly
do it now
— By Lisbit Bailey
