LET NOT THE LIGHT BURN OUT

I heard a buzzing sound
like a jet engine flying
over my head it left
a white tail of smoke
 
I stumbled to the ground
it was the sound of sanity
and accountability and the
voice of humanity
 
It went on it’s way
I hope just for at holiday
or some time off to
rethink it all
 
Too much malice and disrespect
have set sail for dangerous waters
as we come hurling down a 
river of intolerance and hatred
 
Seagulls like white candles
float on top of a tsunami of
despair trying hard not to
let the light go out
