change

change

A Poem by Valerie Cwiekowski
"

something's gotta change

"

angry morning

bright sunrise

watching the way

twilight beings

begin every day

 

can't find enough heartache

can't understand why,

you didn't call, my dear

can't find enough cracks

on a sidewalk 

to turn decades lost back

 

not unlike before, 

she cries, never enough

don't bend

until you've been down too long

 

paradise lost

no one knows why

we're so divided

no one knows why

left versus right

no one knows why

no one knows why

 

lonely mothers

sisters and brothers

unemployed lovers

broken down soldiers

downtrodden workers 

everyone's trying to find a way

 

no one knows why

no one knows why

time to begin

the best of our days
