The Responsibility of Open Lungs
The Responsibility of Open Lungs
see these eyes that once, shed
tears inwardly, from the rule of injustice tyranny,
watch them blink a little lighter, 50 years later in the rebound of 1972 post Roe family dinner,
where life mattered before, where
servants in Christ could never be poor, and
there is victory to be celebrated, congratulated in the value of life persevering for all, races
and their independent opinions, as
our sighs are defended in the law of bodily autonomy for all, where conception
can be safe miracles again, where
hope can once more lead the charge to water with love, that
is where we can breathe a little easier, sing a little freer, and dance a little truer, as
the echo of these upheld hearts and lungs, souls and minds, can join in
the timeless fruit where the baseline of strength can blossom in,
fair to all
free to all
believed in all
