we’re good people here

Poem #187 for Kym Pappas

 

Come on in
It’s what the sign says, right?
Give us your hungry, your tired, your poor?
We want to take care of you
It is our God-given duty to do so…
We’re good people here

Come on in
As much as you need, whenever you need
Family is family, human is human
We have all wanted, and we are capable
of giving
and now want to
We’re good people here

Come on in
Those who are always in need still deserve
The words we have are kind
paying life forward
trading abundance for servitude
We all have thoughts, all have emotions
all are consumed with sadness more than
our hopes and expectations could imagine
But we’re good people here

Come on in
My soul is here to share
fifty-fifty, selfless, genuine
Facing against tides of rancor
Intrigued to leave it all, shed shirt and walk away
stepping into the unknown black hole of starting over
The desire we all dream of in our secret caves
Doing so because we know
We’re good people here

Come on in
The rhetoric is slowing down
Ignition, once started, must combust
Dying out in time as its fuels run dry
Then we will accept you
Stand by our promise, honor our integrity
Live up to the character expected
of us…

We’re good people here
