Curing the Toxic Dance: A Poem
A poem about moving humanity forward
The toxic dance (tit-for-tat ) continues on
We've come up and forgot where we come from
Revenge seems to taste so sweet
but it's really just bitter memories
We all need to redirect our sights
to make this world's path go right
It's about healing ourselves and giving space
for others to do the same with just as much grace
The world will shift when we ourselves do
No judgment from me, nor from you
We exist and thrive because we're allowed to be
not because of our race gender or physicality
So dispose of the toxic attitude of tit-for-tat
Growing into our best selves leaves no room for that
It's not about what happened to us when
It's about what we do right now to join in
To focus on what we want instead
Finding ways to forge ahead
Making life better for the planet as a whole
It isn't Just a Dream it's Absolutely Doable
This poem came to me after a conversation with my friend Aundrea D Veney. I thought this a good place to share with you. May it inspire and uplift!
