While We Were Sleeping                       11/5 -11/6/2024

  

The fight that had begun, ended.
Defeated by lies and propaganda.
Hope was not enough,
more strength was needed.
The race complete.

The public taught by a tabloid media,
seen as the source of education.
Biased in it’s information.
An indoctrination of people who don’t have time to listen or search for another opinion.
Who are we as a nation?
¿Donde estas mi compadres?
Choosing to believe,
causing a surge of ignorance.

How does this help a country?
Our rights are pending.
Frightened.
A disenchanted future.
Failure to thrive.
Decompartmentalize the news.

How can we pick up again after?

Voice our opinion.
Strong women advocates.
Fight for our sister’s and brother’s freedom,
as we anticipate, is dwindling.
Stand together in our unity.
Shore up our responsibility,
bring home a sense of solidarity.

Prayers

Oh Great Spirit,
Teach us to hear thy voice 
In this turbulent time.
Listen to the trees
As they bend and flow.
Let the calm on a summer's day, 
Guide us in our decisions.
Made in the generosity
And extension of our hand 
And of a world at peace.
Lead with compassion and understanding.
God our Father, 
We are told on the left and to the right,
Mother and Son uphold. 
Intuition from the Spirit.
God the Father, God the Son, Holy spirit all in one.
Our Guides and Angels
Answer our prayers and bring us peace.
Guiding Deities offering light,
To illuminate our life.
Oh my Buddha, I pray.
