OUR STRUGGLE

Is it all in the hands of the wind?

Of all the winged seeds
Falling from the tree,
Many are blown away
To the gutters of ignorance,
To the fires of greed,
To the deserts of prejudice;
And only a few happen to land
On the banks of the ever-flowing river.

The tree,
The wind,
And our hopeful struggles.
