The sound of your victory - January 28, 2021


What is the sound of your victory? 
Songs of rejoicing? 
Shouts of superiority? 
Voices reaching out in camaraderie? 
Cries of anger and hatred at opponents deemed unworthy? 
Calls for unity, despite lingering animosity? 
A lyric reflecting respect? 
Psalms of Peace? 

What marks your lament of defeat? 
Poetry offering a hopeful hand of cooperation? 
Proclamations of grievance? 
Declarations of resolve in deeply held values and beliefs? 
False claims of unfairness? 
Acceptance and retooling? 
Internal waves of outrage manifested in unbridled revolution? 
Psalms promising peaceful return? 

What is our anthem of reunion? 
A remembrance of honest history
A refrain of hard-won equality 
A chant of thoughtful justice 
An expression of wonder at enduring coexistence
A prayer for a cessation of violence 
A meditation that emerges as mutual love 
A commitment to contentment and conciliation. 

What is the Creator’s wish for us? 
One.
