community?

by Paul Cech / May 17th, 2020

united we stand divided
it seems schemas have changed
paradigms have shifted
and some want their rights to include another’s nose

perhaps communities can
break through the system illusion
recreate themselves as communal
where rights and responsibilities are protected and exercised

perhaps unity
compassion and
empathy will become ingrained
as the united states strives to stand united
