The Future Loves Us by Peno Hardesty




music is dialysis for the soul-----the sounds of the city---the ocean---a slight rustle in the brush---symphonies of nature and life ---gifts--the healing of a heartbeat ---the purr of a cat----little granddaughter "ma p===it is my birthday but i have a gift for you"-----i close my eyes---phone pressed to my ear----there is only music---the beautiful sounds of tiny fingers on a piano-----cleansing tears flow freely----"want to hear it again ma p?" oh yes child of child---oh yes...........................................................
.the future loves us--
-come---
we fight for the future-------
close our eyes
hear the music
cleanse
believe
por favor
believe enough to care
care enough to fight

Fight Back by Peno Hardesty

 
perhaps the great flood of biblical lore is upon us----no---nothing to do with angry gods or sailors who build arks---tears mis amigos----tears----persons with disabilities need the community first option of obamacare----persons who are ill deserve medical care---persons who are hungry deserve food---young minds deserve education----families left mourning deserve a country free of senseless gun violence and from the laws that allow killers to walk free---tears---tears from those who are chained-----chained by intolerance and chained by indifference----chained by fear guarded by the fearful----tears flow and begin to fill the valley and the gutter----chains rattle as the chained begin to fight---tears fill the streets ----and the chains rattle against the rising waters of tears----no one dares to resist too hard but there is a sense that resistance is beginning----the haters stand on their balcony--covering their ears to sounds of chains----waters... of tears rising as the chained fear drowning-------there is no moses to part the waters mis amigos----there is only us-----the chains that bind are broken by courage---the courage to face the fearful and step over them ---for it is only their own fear that they guard---------stop reading and pick up the phone---call congress---write your local paper---people are hungry and people are sick----people are dying--

people are scared and people are dying
and
i am on facebook------

like cinderella
fearing midnight

fear
fuck fear
fight back
