the world cannot see our weakness

This time we’ll wear dark glasses

to mask our blindness

This time we’ll wear cloaks

That cover and mask our wounds

So the world cannot see our weakness

We’ll enter the ballroom upright

Walking slowly, gracefully

And the world will go silent to see us there

Proud as we are

Undefeated

***

At last even the dogs were locked up in work camps

“Everyone must do their share of the work”

Said the president “there must be more profit”

Well not the white dogs of course but all the others

***

If this world was a mirror

A human life would leave no reflection

It is that fast and brief

James says to slow down and stop

As often as you can

James Lee Jobe

"There is always light. If only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it."
