There is no deep discount
for you to collect,
no razzmatazz reward
or ragged punch card
for you to accrue,
no extra credit
for you to capture
from the check-out lane,
no savings to realize
on the way out the door.
It is just these twinkling
blue lights of hope
that exist to frame
our fleeting worldview,
that implore us all
to imagine better possibilities,
that remind us
if we act now
to salvage our future freedom,
if we move forward
to heal from the past,
we may still be able
to rescue our civilization
from the jaws of decay.
Strong sentiments, well-expressed!
All we can do now is wait and hope.
