  • Will these roots take hold?
    Will these seeds grow?
    Will these rains suffice
    Take a blossom from a blight?
    Kids born blighted, weakened
    Perpetrators hide and seek, and
    Neighbors point their fingers
    While the sicker just get sicker
    Frustrated, helpless, gated
    Shell-shocked, agitated
    I look to the sky...
    Poison rain to kill off
    All that just won't die
    I've been a long time on my own
    This long winter taught me how to feign warmth
    Cracked skin sucked dry as the desert
    As the staircase swells and I feel better
    Yes, I tell myself
    Yes, I tell myself
    Yes, I tell myself
    That I feel so much better
    Will these roots take hold
    Will these seeds grow?
    Will these rains suffice?
    Ignore the poison rain
    And I feel better
    Yes, I tell myself
    Yes, I tell myself
    Yes, I tell myself
    I feel so much better Writer/s: TIMOTHY PAUL HIGGINS
