Poetry Section- Part 2 "This Is for the One Whose Aura Was Silver"

This is for the one whose aura was silver
Whose heart was gold
and whose life was short

This is for the one whose eyes were far seeing
Whose mind was like quick silver
and who tried to make a difference

This is for all of those who do nothing
Who watch while the darkness moves in
and simply wait for time to catch up with them

This is a wake up call

This call is for all of those
who dawn the rose-tinted glasses
and avert their eyes

This call is for all of those
who cover their ears
and try to drown out the screams

This is a wake up call
that you WILL listen to
because it is the one that
is going to save your life

This wake up call is asking
for the ambivalent to be
the one whose aura was silver
and to be the one with the
far seeing eyes

It is time to stop
playing possum and hope
for things to change
on their own

It is your turn to
be wrapped in silver
