By Benjamin Bielert
Dare to whisper in the dark
the possibility of sun.
Dare to see the world as it is
and dream for better.
Rage against the status quo
fight against the current
rather than go with the flow
don’t be sane in a mad world.
They threw the first stone
so fight fire with fire
and madness with madness
make yours the lunacy of faith.
Not faith in gods or angels
not in devils or demons
no spirits, deva, nor djinn.
Dare to believe in humanity.
In the innumerable unsung goods,
the web of cooperation and kindness
that got us so far as this,
we can go further yet.
Don’t let anyone tell you
“well that’s just how it is”.
Pieces of broken spirit
spilling out of those mouths.
Keep the fire burning
no matter how the winds howl
so that even on the darkest nights
we have a piece of the day.
Bloody Well Write
