LET NOT OUR SKIN DIVIDE

 

 

 

 LET NOT OUR SKIN DIVIDE

 

 

When revolutions fires are weak

the dreams that float in troubled tides

may yet be caught as fish in nets

across the waves of liberty

upon Medusa’s raft.

 

With stoics cloak drawn ever close

its threads of faction still uncut

whilst hope preserved in saline spray

will surely sever bigotry

let not our skin divide.
