“For Them” (written Friday, December 14, 2012)
Hearts ablaze within their small frame bodies, no longer
beating, no more love
Amidst dull eyes of confusion they smile, captivated by the
glow, mist and rain
The horror before has now been granted no attention and
the only matter of the life that was blows mysteriously in the rain
Toes pointed outward toward the edge of the seashore
A rainy day of red water comes to an end where the Sun chooses
to shine forth,
Through shadows, Through classrooms, Through doors, and
principle thoughts that eagerly await Justice
They were once, in the rain
Feeling the rain
They, who once were a cause of all things, who fought our
causes when we knew none
The small ones, ones who fear everything except nothing
and live mysterious lives on the continent of imagination
They reigned over smaller things under the larger scope
of rain that poured abundantly over them
They were never satisfied
The rain poured daily, moment by moment they sat awaiting
its storm and fierce rain
Souls scattered under a storm with no umbrella
Education was their Father and He rained over them with
his undying love and open opportunity
Access was never denied and He felt His drops of love
nourish each one
