It’s Time: from Michael McCarthy’s Blog
It’s Time
How long
asked Dr. King
those many years ago
how long
to claim our angel part
rather than feeding the beast
deep in our bones
humanity hardens
ruby red blood
pours into the streets
staining
common decency
foolishness
prevails
a superiority complex
reigns throughout
those from on high
come down
touch the earth
feel the cool air
upon your face
meet your sisters
as the changing colors of the autumn leaves
rapidly drop
jump
into the fallen heap
do so playfully
and romp around
still longing for the warmth
of some future day
how long
too long.
