The Stream of Life

The Stream of Life
by Ritzy Ritzhaupt

Late in life
One realizes
Need for repair

Fishes swim
Unhindered up stream
Gracefully darting
Between life and death

Humans run around
Wildly exclaiming demands

Life tumbles and bounces
Deflates the strong
Dismantles the frightened
Kicks the weak
Starves the hopeless

Screams for change
Process more
Make us better

Stronger we stand
Closer we bind
Together as one

Showing the way
Sharing by all
Making everyone stronger

Paying our dues
Visitors welcome to
Explore our path
Stifling no one

These United States
Once again we
Will be strong!
