May the fires
be controlled
the virus
contained.
May Shanti
return to this
divided nation
and children
play along
golden beaches
in clear waters.
May
kisses
substitute batons
reason
replace conspiracy.
May
America
be the refuge of
those who hunger for
Liberty
a necklace
of opalescent
beads of
Equality,
the country
of our
dreams
once more,
our
North
Star.
