No One Left Behind
Grace under siege
overheating rage
Combustible fear
refueled
Counterfeit lawful
order recycling
Evil impulses escaping
their cages
Scabs pulled off
scars sighted
Masses unhuddled
yearning still
Weakened by
enfeebled hope
Diluted by archaic
sanctimony
Across widening chasm
buddy system
Reciprocal respect
fueled by caring
Together lifted from
the sorrowing
Manage the rage for
the arduous trek
Threatened with
hope
We twist and turn to
find the light
