One Room
written by: Brandon Curry
As I sit in a café not far from home,
A divided nation sharing one room.
In a world that lets skin color define us,
My heart grieves for those who would divide us.
What I see are faces — unburdened by borders.
What I hear are voices — unpolluted by poison.
I see a community gathered in common,
Coffee in hand — closer than the world would have them.
