Day One – Original Poem
By Mark A Leon
Hashtag Day One reset the mechanism
An awakening some may call the new normal
Day one a fresh start
A recipe of new opportunity
New hopes and dreams
A chance to do it right
Wipe away the lies
Lay it out
The truth
The inner soul released
The tyranny is gone
The wicked witch of the West has faded away and all is right in munchkin land
The silent killer is muting away
Fires subsiding to ashes
Are you ready to die we were asked
We screamed no
Today we treat this day like no other
Sunrise; sunset; music in between
Be it our first
Be it our last
We rise to the highest plain
We run to the speed of light
Today is day one
The gospel of self faith can be heard from the heavens
Life goes on said 2Pac
Rest In Peace bro
To those we lost, not forgotten
Never forgotten
The battle cries were heard
We found peace
Let’s learn
Educate the young
Embrace the colors we all bleed
Hug it out with the weapons of compassion
It’s time to heal
Release the anger
Day one
Now is the time to love
