Arts Stone Of Hope Written By Ryan Tyler
Entertainment Two Way Mirror
Cotton like a snowfall on the summer southern plains Copper under sunset, a sight for eyes unchained But our fathers sweat beside us and regale us our descent While our sons will watch and learn from us a life we never meant As we dine along with weevils, walking barefoot through our roots We work the cursed beauty of a field we did not choose And so we dare sojourn ourselves to gospel’s quiet roar To feel the wind upon our face as fractions o’ men no more And we affirm the actions we will take for liberty We turn our eyes to shepherds, praying ‘please deliver me’ Conductors on a terrain we cannot walk alone The whistle blows beneath our feet and knows the long way home And days anon, a million strong, we’ll march to hear a dream That’s separate in its message but equal to the King’s: To judge by only character, not color or by skin A constitution free are we, the people, to amend And pearl to onyx, all be honest, freedom to freedom bound In this, a land where some are standing up for the right to sit down The civil disobedient, unwilling to repent Raise their fists into the air for time in shackles spent Now’s the time and here’s the place to ask where we belong That we should feel not only free at last but all along
Written By Chasity Masters
Wrapped up tight inside this life awaiting time to pass. Feeling change how very strange to see through the looking glass. Look at me like you you’ll see but there’s someone else there too. The biggest demise to trust just eyes to see the whole world through.
