Presents would
Be nice
To boost
The economy
That based
On something
That can't
Last forever…
But its not
What I want
This year…
Yesterday
My friend's lost
Their son for
Winter Solstice
In another country
To suicide
And the hospital
Bill and transportation
Will cost them
100k…
I wish them
Healing and
A way to bring
Their son's body
Home.
But more than
That I wish
The world
Was good enough
To help them
Pay for it
To happen,
So that
What is right
Is greater
Than
Its price.
I want for
My lover's family
To accept me
Walking out
Of the bedroom
As normal
As any
Other.
I want this year
A way to make
A living
That doesn't
Involve
Some minimum wage
Job that I could
Have gotten
Before
I got a college
Degree.
I want my
Living space
To be mine
Without fear
Of losing
It to
The whims
Of others.
I want to restore
Hope,
I want to mend
Broken hearts,
&
Give faith
Like it were
A present
Under the tree.
I want the world
In my immediate
Vicinity
To be the one
We all hope
Is possible,
Filled with
This thing
Called
Enough,
Plenty,
For everyone
I love.
Enough love,
Plenty of generosity,
Not just
With money,
But
Time and compliments
Or
Appreciation.
What I want
This year…
Is for all of us
To realize
That we are
Not in this life
Alone,
But together,
And that it
Will take
All of us
To make
What we want
To be a reality,
Because like
Heaven,
It really isn't
Possible
Unless everyone
You love
Is with
You.
