All I have are

Pieces

Fragments

Parts.

Wisps of possibility

Never developed

Into a semblance of prosperity.


All I have is a

Choice

Chance  

Opportunity.

Youth before it’s

Beaten down,

And a path that keeps me steady.


All I have is a

Hope

Wish

Dream.

The inklings of a movement

That has been mumbled of

But never spoken.

 

All we have is

You

Me

And billions.

A world so clearly dying

And a thousand reasons to

Give it life.
