Consumption of Identity

free form poetry

All souls stand on the same earthen crust
Each sharing a singular vein of blood

The consumption of this identity swallowed by fear
The verity of our commonality drowned in tears

Endless memorials of senseless tragedy
Imprison us in an incessant state of agony

This is the time when we unlock these binds
Letting go of the scripts that hinder our minds

We stand and honor the casualties of ignorance
Ending the decades of our indifference

As all the borders fall, hear the song of love call
