Lyrics Posted

Tomorrow may come for many,
And bestow upon them with those moments wished.
Those moments for years that have been dismissed.
But nothing that has diminished with time given it...
Is going to correct itself overnight.
Not with a healing of the ones intentionally wounded.

And expectations with the sending out of invitations,
That everyone will be prepared to join hands and sing...
Repeatedly 'Kumbayah',
As they sway together in harmony with lifted voices.
Especially when the lyrics posted,
Have appeared on billboards to go ignored for decades.

And...
The event planners will never know,
If those assigned to wash the billboards clean...
Will have the time to remove the remnants,
Of eggs and their shells thrown to be shown...
Appearing high above those of closed minds.

But...
At least the attempt is made.
