the world cannot see our weakness

This time we’ll wear dark glasses
to mask our blindness
This time we’ll wear cloaks
That cover and mask our wounds
So the world cannot see our weakness
We’ll enter the ballroom upright
Walking slowly, gracefully
And the world will go silent to see us there
Proud as we are
Undefeated
***
At last even the dogs were locked up in work camps
“Everyone must do their share of the work”
Said the president “there must be more profit”
Well not the white dogs of course but all the others
***
If this world was a mirror
A human life would leave no reflection
It is that fast and brief
James says to slow down and stop
As often as you can
James Lee Jobe

"There is always light. If only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it."
