THE FOURTH OF TOMORROW
H. W. bryce
THIS GOES FOR Canada, too:
The First of July
Pale blu mini comp of Jun 12, 2022 – July 3, 2022
BECAUSE, AS I EXPECTED, GUN VIOLENCE. ON THE 4TH (IN MINNESOTA) – SHOOTING INTO A PARADE
Apropos as of 28 Jan 2023 on the laying of murder charges against five black policement having beaten
Tyre Nichols___ to death. Memphis, Tennessee.
This in the midst of more mass shootings.
Just another week in the life of evil.
— —
Will guns ever be holstered? Will mass shooting never cease?
Will everyone’s life really matter? Will suffering
Of the victims convert the delusion of shooters
After the Fourth of Tomorrow?
How many centuries before a country matures?
How many lives must perish before lives really matter?
When will the gray matter apply its better power?
When will the clock tick on that glorious hour?
—
I see beyond the horizon, the sun beginning to shine
Brighter than before. I see Man’s soul beginning to Grow.
I have a vision – FOR THE DAYS beyond the hatred
I have a vision – of the death of the killings
I have a vision – of happier days to come
When goodnesses will add up to the sum
Of Peace, where differences are settled peacably
And no one is left feeling hurt.
I have a vision where the only guns will shoot water,
The only bullets will be heart filling love arrows.
I can see a day when the street of hate narrows
And we all see each other as persons, not creeps.
Oh, I dream of that day, that fourth of tomorrow,
The day that marks the end of sorrow.
