The Quickening

The Quickening    7/15/2016



Another day and another night
Time lurches forward
And snaps into place 
Splitting at a crossroad
With blood and death.

Weakness is complicity
And complicity is approval
As obvious as it can get
For many to see.   

Protected by lies
And covered by silence
Many burn with hatred
Towards the good
And the innocent.

Hating you
And hating me
They belittle the dead
As if nothing at all.

Choose who to ask
And choose who to follow
Because those you love
You will always protect.

Choose carefully
Lest you also
Be suddenly lost
Forever complicit
And forever condemned.
