Ripples on the Water – v4

May this day  be, may we be as a people

A rock thrown in the pond,

full force, or maybe, just maybe,

thousands of pebbles, hurled, dropped,

even gently coaxed into the water

however we are gifted, wherever we are

ripples, reverberating, echoing,

growing into a groundswell

a tsunami, if we have force, a movement,

to change the face of the planet

to change the discussion

at least for a day

onto on topic

inequality, injustice,

where we live

the place

we call

home
