I want to write about something beautiful
To be inspired by stories of the world
But
One must scour the pages for a positive
To find a kindness
One must reach passed
The wretched behavior of Mothers and Sons
Must shield against the atrocities of neighbors
And the lost trust in our government and police
What a dream for those to be few and far between
And the acts of love dominate our screen
