Joshua
speaking, in this time
while
some were not yet ashore;
Knowing
that our journey
is
not complete;
we
have work yet to do,
until
all are on the other side
All
living in the Promised Land
equal
in their neighbors’ eyes;
equal
under the law
no
matter their race, their color,
anything
that divides us on the outside
the
same in our flesh
