An Open Letter

 

The Storm Rages On

 

The noise of the storm

Has become much too loud

Consider the stirring

The rage of the crowd

We can’t underestimate

All that goes on

 

It isn’t the first time

Sadly

It won’t be the last

History repeats itself

If we haven’t learned

 

Our time is limited

Don’t waste it

On living someone

Else’s life

Someone else’s

Ideal

Of how they think

It should be

 

Don’t get trapped

In your behavior

It is your choice

Don’t let the noise

Of others’ opinions

Drown

Out your own

Inner voice

 

Have the courage

To follow your heart

And do what is right

No one will win

If we continue this fight

 

It begins with one person

Not the rage of the crowd

We all have to work on it

We all must try

 

Hatred is like

Poison

It will saturate

Bubble up

And then

Explode

Have some foresight

 

You are drinking

The Koolaid

Don’t you care

In the moments

Of silence

You

Know this is true

The thunder rages on

In the distance

Up comes the storm

 

The anger and hatred

Of the crowd

Their noise is deafening

Much too loud

Stop the madness

It is within our power

Now

 

Vengeance doesn’t

Belong to us

Not yours not mine

If you look back in history

It has crept up again

We can’t continue

Or the next storm

Could very well be

Our end
