Poem – Perhaps

Perhaps hearts are heavy … thinking of those that are no longer here.
Perhaps some are thinking of the many ideals that they held so dear.

Perhaps we need to reset by telling ourselves the truth.
Perhaps it is because we are exhausted by all those that are so uncouth.

I have learned that life is filled with ups and downs.
I know that we can feel like the victim to selfish and tormenting clowns.

But I know that when I set my sights on what lies ahead.
Then I know that none of us can hide or go back to bed.

Within the cycles that take our breath away.
We will have to learn to cope with anger and dismay.

Do not let the hate that is in this time.
Make you go against all you value that is beautiful and sublime.

Do not let the demons of this world take your soul.
We can only make the world better when we are completely whole.
