People Over Politics, World Over Wealth

Dusk to Dawn ~ Philip Brent Harris

~~~~~

Like the March of the Marionettes,
Muppets on their hands and sticks.
We go along our way, perform our tricks.
Step up to the window, place your bets

Find the winner is sometimes unexpected.
The horse with the greatest odds will win,
the favorite edged out at the end, and then,
you’ll question all you know, have suspected

Like an old fashioned dance marathon,
couples will shuffle and lean, sound asleep
and you will begin to wonder how they keep
going when the band no longer plays a song.

The cars race fast, faster, race around the track,
blow a tire, crash, or hit the pit for gas.
Don’t take too long to fill up. Others will pass.
Speed out. Into the fray again. Don’t look back.

Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment

Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,

Unite the World
