Hope

 News it’s overwhelming

News incites our fears

All around us

We’re surrounded 

By the hate, the greed,

The jeers

All the racism 

All the violence

Misogyny 

And apathy 

While our souls

They scream for 

Kindness 

Curse the blindness

That got us here 

Don’t lose hope

We are awakening 

Don’t give up 

Love will win 

We’ll overcome

Lift up our neighbors 

Bring the homeless in 

Diversity will 

Have a place 

Inclusion 

Gentle words 

The human race 

Isn’t finished 

Not yet 

We can still be one
