Hate
there’s so much hate
because of skin and love
and who people are
do I participate
Denial
there’s so much denial
because of ease and power
and who knows why
do I smile
Loss
there’s so much loss
because of greed and weakness
and entitlement so entrenched
do I gloss
Pain
there’s so much pain
because of death and words
and not being known
do I refrain
Create
there’s much to create
because of children and humanity
and we need better
will I participate
