Two Poems by DJ Corvette 19

What will we do

What will we do

when we think things

are slowing down

When we’re tired

of not everything

being normal again

Take the compromise

that is comfortable

and move forward

on a new crooked path

Not recognizing the past

for what it was

what it is

To feel safe again


Step forward

Step forward

cult leaders

we have lost our way

Make sense

of maddening truth

that we can live with

Make us feel

things in our gut

that would otherwise

cause great angst

Make an ending

of satisfying resolution

that won’t fear death

like our hearts do

Sing, sing

before time is gone
