If only they thought of everyone
Not just themselves
Think about it
Millions of people
Saved
What about the people who can’t help themselves
They need a strong stable government that is inclusive to everyone
We all need that
But do we all have that?
If only they paused
Asked what people needed
Considered everyone’s needs
Eight billion people
Acknowledged
It’s time to change
If only they would
But I will.
And so he sat there
Engulfed in the presence of time
And realized that his path was carved out for him
Awaiting footsteps
Begging for mistakes
If only he were to begin his journey
I pepper myself with questions
Questions that bubble up and spill over
Out into the wide world
And I stop to admire time
I pause in my tracks
Tracks that have gone a long way
And within this pause
staring through eyes of stone at the republic
oh, for which it stands
one nation like a burning stick
a stick that is almost snuffed out
the red flames curling up and turning the stick to carbon and ash
