How to wait
in eagerness
with expectation
when a struggling multitude
flashes across the screen
earth-shattering upheaval
seen today
are we not one
there too
nations with pageantry
colour galore
or clock-like precision
these voiceless people
are we not one
and closer still
those scrambling for more
more ever more
causing deluge and divide
the ever widening gap
are we not one
and so
from some inner depth
comes forth a longing
a yearning
for readiness to believe
to welcome
the goodness in me
the God-ness
in you
Today
we wait with eagerness
in expectation
for we are one
