Grounding tension
by Thomas Provençal
When society is kidnapped
and fed ideas of fear
we scuttle for security
motivationally unclear.
Revealing truth can ostracize
a writer from their tribe
for truth is multifaceted
single versions can’t describe.
There’s bound to be some conflict
when opinions disagree
with rancour in the writing
offered to community.
Polite and friendly manners
with inclusion all around
will bring us back to normal,
reconnect us to the ground.
from the heart
