Ferguson: There's Time to Change

poem in response to the unrest in Ferguson, MO.

Ferguson: There’s Time to Change

Heave heavy stones away
From your heart.
Watch out---
Death is at the door,
Stealing peace
And running after
Our brothers and sisters.

Lay down your stones:
Anger, hate, hurt, and judgment.

Blossoms of life will appear
When we choose to see
Each other not by color.
Look under the skin,
By Living together and
Distinguishing fires.
