Our journey is not complete – v2

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
