Arrested by beauty

Arrested by beauty

Migrating monarchs meet

Small swirls of powdered wings

Along a busy street

An older woman stopped

And joined the scenery

In the shade on a bench

Blending with greenery 

Germany not again

Germany not again

The Alt Right is not right

Why are we so lost on

Supremacy of white

And it is not normal

For someone to support

A rapist pedophile

While innocents deport

I dream for you my loves

I dream for you my loves

Trees are heavy with fruit

The walk to oases 

Are kind in your pursuit

May you grow how you grow

An architect of you

An engineering mind

A heart as big as true

Say goodbye in a lull

Say goodbye in a lull

The fractions taking toll

Time was once a giver

But now it seems it stole

Silent persistent thief 

Where do memories go

Why are we witnesses

Surface and undertow

Territorial be

Territorial be

Acres of thoughts apart

What beautiful treetops

That rise above each heart

Let us meet at the stream 

Messages to exchange

Between the embraces

No emotions of strange

Friend did we find a fork

Friend did we find a fork

Not agreeing on kind

Necessary define

We are not of one mind

Not opinion but fact

This ignorance is brash

What of humanity

Our foundations in clash

Into the abattoir

Into the abattoir 

Children pulled from mothers

American Dreamers

Soon there will be others

Protesters stripped of rights 

By masked men causing hell

There is one exception
