A Retooling of An Imbalance

A retooling of an imbalance comes.
To chase away the doldrums,
Forced to molest...
An unending quest for greed.

Opportunities now exist,
For the blinded ones to see...
Isolation that fed on seperateness,
And divisions of democracy...
Not only bred a disrespect,
But a loss of a dependency.
Inflicting the abilities...
And gifts of others.
No matter of one's looks or of color!

Without perceiving those basic needs,
All shared with one another!
Like desired dreams to live in peace and harmony.

Regardless of race, heritage or creed.
We are aboard this ship together!
And if it sinks...
Everyone suffers.
Everyone bleeds!
Drowning in aborted hopes...
We all observe as witnesses,
Slip from us to recede.
Repossessed from us and leave.

A retooling of an imbalance comes.
To chase away the doldrums,
Forced to molest...
An unending quest for greed.

And a dawning on the horizon...
Comes along with a Sunrise seen.
And the foolishness is swept away,
Of a kept unconsciousness...
Once darkening an enlightenment,
Now shining brightly it seems.
To rejuvenate truth and diminished realities.
This time with everyone praying...
Sensibilities accepted remains to stay.
