Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

She raised words of actions
calls to action, to not stand in the way;
but to enable, to embolden, to do
our part too; to do the work
His work, to be the salt, the seasoning
the stirring of the waters
breaking the grip, the status quo
seeing work that needs to be done,
doing that work, whenever we can
being feet to the fire, the bellows
of the heat of change, stoking
the fires of revolution, of shift
off the foundations of apathy,
of indifference, of complacency
in the lies of the greedy, the comfortable
thinking anew our place in the struggle
for justice, for equality, for the hungry,
the oppressed, the sick, the forgotten
heeding our roots, in his work, his mission
our calling today, now, following his example
caring for our neighbors, around the world
without borders, languages, or
lines in the sand
