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!
