The Lotus Unfolds



We have seen such meanness between us
Here between the cracks in the USA
How it can degrade and demean us
Now bedeviled by incivility

Hoping for spring to bring hope I say
Though not knowing much I think I believe
In something better coming our way
Causing the cause of something worse to leave

Behold the unfolding lotus of
Us collectively recollecting who
We are and always wanted to be
Collecting ourselves hauntedly by love

To get it or forget it and do
What needs to be done everyone can see
To save the world or try anyway
Having been held down wake up and shake free

I have seen hope through the cracks that dawn
Is out there waiting to come back someday
It takes hope for us to make it through
This but we can do this hope says to me

The lotus unfolds and we do too
A change of season getting underway
Love will be the reason we achieve
A better understanding finally

The meanness between us may be gone
Someday soon as we find out more about
What was behind it as it comes out
And getting it together we go on

In the end, we must finally come together like Paul and John expressed.

Well done!

Peace, love and blessings,

The impeachment process as shown how mean some can be when it comes to revealing the truth in politics. Everything becomes a sham rather than a enlightening process.
