Shine thy good, America
Where has our light gone, America?
Where has our good gone?
IS it gone?
Or just changing?
What do we seek?
What do we long for?
Are we hurting?
Are YOU hurting?
Will we choose the higher path?
The harder path?
Or will we succomb to blame, fear, and despair?
What IS the higher path?
Does it HAVE to be harder?
Are we willing to question?
Everything we've believed?
If so...
