"And this shall be the rise of me / And this shall be the rise of you / The lifting of us gloriously"


Poem Artwork

The Lifting

In a world of insanity
Anger the order of the day
Futility and vanity
Where nobody knows what to say

And it would seem to you and me
That it would be better if they
Could channel their hostility
Into something more constructive

Come my friend let us turn away
From the bitter and destructive
Dogma and ideology
Which would create hell here on earth

Today let us be born anew

Rejecting death let us choose birth
And this shall be the rise of me
And this shall be the rise of you
The lifting of us gloriously

Come transcend death to rise above
Our fear to hope our hate to love

+Steven Curtis Lance

This poem is very lifting, and the kind of thing we do need today so that is the perfect reason to say it- much better than wallowing in the negative, or else we will remain in it. This speaks of a hope that cannot die.

Perhaps not the mood of the day, but I enjoyed it.
