hero.

it’s been so long since we’ve seen you around

the anger drowns out the sights and sound

you’re there

among the ordinary

we long to hold you high

step up

step out

everyday we cry

for our hero

our mothers, our fathers, our everyday citizens

no longer polarized

opposite corners

help us to listen

cross the divide

show us the way

as your voice whispers

in the shadows of our heartbreaks

our hero inside
