24. Once Upon a Time
I heard once upon a time
About how our hearts sync
When we’re all together,
Singing towards something
We can’t even see.
How indescribably beautiful,
Something like that,
Our hearts with their eyes closed
To the million ways each of us
Has stabbed a back, tarnished
A name, gossiped the pain
Of somebody who sits alone
In it unless they’re standing
Next to a body, breathing
And singing, forgetting
The cruel inhumanity of man
When God is all they see.
