Nua

by Joe Felix

Never let anyone cover you up

Shine pure and bright inside—

Lightning strikes your pride:

Now is the time to grind,

Before it gets too dark out, so

Run indoors and put on pjs

Kindle the smoldering embers

Twinkling, scintillating flames

Be radiant—regardless of society

Freedoms—at the cost of lives

Greed & arrogance, then defeat

Killing the peace that we seek— 

Truth is more than skin deep;

Keeping neighbors locked inside

Step through toxicity—clean feet

Only the sheep bleat at night.
