I am listening

By Emily Lawrence Posted in Poetry No comments

I stand for you, I stand for all of you.
I’m standing up now,
Educating my unknowns.
Listening to the voices of the silenced and unsilenced.
I stand for all, for equality, for clear vision
For harmony to pervade
Trampling the ground gained
By words and deeds evil to humanity
I hear you
I’m listening
And I’m learning too
I stand for you, I stand for all of you
For change to be breathed into the planet,
Alerting views and reawakening the death
Caused from destruction
the evil that separation allows to rule
It’s time for something else to rule now
For words and histories and inequalities to be gone
We are all the same, complex, and different
But same in who we are
Humbly – I am hearing
