The Sun Will Shine Again
The Sun Will Shine Again
Hundreds covering a street
Signs blocking the sun
Staring eyes through shields
Sore throats and aching feet
Standing face to face
Instead of
Side by side
The crowd lowers
The voices rise
Armed statues towering,
“Kneel with us!
Kneel with us!”
Tears falling and
Voices cracking,
Until the sun shined again,
The blue and black
One by one
Falling to a knee
A peaceful interaction
Between the foes
A glove to a bare hand
Crying behind a mask
And crying behind a shield
3 words spoken
To come together,
“We hear you.”
