Belief In

~ Vanessa ~ Leave a comment

I will not lose hope,
I believe people are good,
I believe in redemption,
I believe people are innately good,
I believe we are deterred by want,
I believe in each is good,
I believe we often ignore our needs,
I believe in good,
I believe we lose some hope when times get tough,
I believe we doubt our own good,
I believe we lose touch when we lose hope,
I believe we lose sight,
I believe it is not gone,
I believe the capacity remains
I believe there is good,
I believe,
In hope,
I must believe,
Or I would lose
Myself too

Marks

~ Vanessa ~ Leave a comment

And so we fill our bubbles,
Drag our markers,
Check boxes,
Press buttons,
Press inked fingers,
Punch chads,
We make our mark,
As we believe,
Works democracy,
We put faith in a power
Greater than ours alone,
To craft and mold
This land we call home,
Our faith may ebb and flow
But we all leave a mark,
And based on our vote
Inform what we do and
do not condone
