Macy FluhartyThe Change I See In Us – By: Macy Fluharty
Decades ago,
When I was young,
I dreamt of a world,
Living as one.A world where we all,
Lived a balanced symphony.
And decisions were made,
From a place of empathy.I thought of a time,
We could coexist,
You do you, and I me,
And that’s it.But now what I see,
Is a world in pain.
And a life of love,
Dying in vain.I see people attacked,
For merely existing.
And others pushed down,
In effort to extinguish.What else do I see?
I’ve seen the people rise.
I’ve seen change begin.
I’ve heard voices amplify.And so what will be next?
I’m not quite sure.
But what I hope for,
Is that our joy will endure.Voting is closed
I love that you put your childhood perspective in this poem and followed up with what the world is and how we are in the midst of change. Thank you for sharing.

Macy, This is so creative and so well done. It really highlights the pain and hope you have for this world in such a beautiful and poetic way. I love how you ended it.
And so what will be next?
I’m not quite sure.
But what I hope for,
Is that our joy will endure.
I hope joy wins out too. I believe it will <3 Lauren
