I shift this holy ground,
wound around
the side of love,
not the wall of hate,
in debate that respects
the human in all their colours,
in all aspects of their being,
and seeing that face
that says there is no race
or faith or creed or way or feeling
when it comes
to living like you are free,
like you believe in being equal
as a sequel to the division that
made the lives of so many a horror,
a terror that never ended,
till we stood and said, “Enough!”,
till we stood in line with each other,
with each person who looked and
saw the rising of the rainbow coloured day.
