First Gong Vol. 8: Thrust FIRST GONG 8 THRUST | Page 207

In a society of ours
Where faith temples
Prioritize the need for one more jet
And Spartan life
A curse to the doctrine
You are not alone, questioning our oneness
When every clan feels marginalized and
Secession the only path
Hard to know, who to relate with
In a society of ours
Where every tribe beats the drum of war
Yet, it is the blood of the commoners
That will go for it
Yes, my friend
A journey of a thousand miles
Begins with a step
And a step after the other leads to where one is focused
Yet, along each step may appear a rocky ground or a bend
Let not the bend distort your focus because,
The Moon
The Stars
That shines in the darkness of the night
is an ember of hope that
comes with dawn and the brightness of day .
-Amami Henry.
