Unity

The winds of change
Blowing from the heights

     down
          down
               down
Ruffling the hair
On the back of your neck
Like a kitten with it's
Claws retracted pawing
At a cricket on the floor

Too much information
                               You say
When all I can see
Is a serious lack of.
Also missing from this equation,
Of man plus life equals existence,
Is a unity that we have never known.
Because the separations that divide
Are also holding us back.
                                   Or down.
Depending on how it makes
You feel.                  But
You still feel, so hope
Is not lost, nor will it
Ever be gone, as long as
One of us, at least,
Still dreams.
Of what should be
    what could be
But the dream itself
Is not important.
Only knowing that the dream
Exists within your heart

               is.

Through knowledge
Is power gained.
The power to decide
To make a difference
     make a stand
Or just to stand
         up

For yourself,
Where no other will.
Now is not a time of idle hands.
When we need to rebuild
     Our homes
          Our lives
               Our society.
Everything, to ensure that
When it comes down to it
It is everything.
And 'It' is collectively ours.
