Who
are you?
A
crooked line on a face
A wrenched
heart
Or a
broken soul
Who
are you?
You
are just pieces
Pieces
of hatred
Spewed
here and there
You
are the black
You
are the blood
You
are the Pause
But
still
You
are just pieces
I am
the whole
I am
the white
I am
the mild
I am
the wild
I am
the heart
I am
the start
That
never ends
I am
the whole
I am
human
I am
hope
You
can cover me black
You
can spew me mad
You
can cut me piece by piece
You
can tear me bad
But I
am still whole
For
every piece that falls
Millions will grow
For
everything that’s black
Millions will glow
In
white and gold
For every word of hate
There
will be million words of faith
For
every act of terror
There
will be million hugs
and million
smiles
For
every bomb
There
will be million first cries
For
every bomb
There
will be million first smiles
For every
bomb
There
will be million first steps
For every sunset
There will always be a dawn
For every Pause
There will always be a hope!
There will always be a hope!

Yes, the best desire of one's heart of all - hope, love, peace - the belief that light will always outshine the darkness, as it has been doing ever since the events in Paris. Well said.
ReplyDeleteA critical mass of love will change the world! Nicely done!
ReplyDelete"You are just pieces
ReplyDeletePieces of hatred".... so true. Love wins finally, I hope.
Hope will still give reason to live for. As long as there is life there ought to be hope. Very insightful write Juztamom!

I love this spreading of hope.. It's up to us all in the end isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe way you match line for line and balance the good with the bad...beautiful and hopeful...wonderful poem.
ReplyDeleteLight does outshine darkness in the end... but not without a lot of heartache I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteOur world seems dark and out of sync now .. wishing for light is positive and hopeful.
ReplyDeleteHope, we desperately needed. I once met a woman named Hope. I truly believe she was an angel.
ReplyDelete....and hope endures in the face of every misshapen monster and pillaging horde. I love the thought and the flow. Well placed rhyming and a message as timeless as any other. Great writing, thanks for participating in the prompt!
