PBR (unfinished)

Bless those who can dance
in the face of tomorrow.
Bless the hearts that yern for arms..
Bless the lightless streets
with loud foot steps.
Bless the empty cans
that yawn.
Bless the TV
and its lulliby static.
Bless the ones
who do not respond.
Bless the bedsheets
that know no flesh.
Bless all of our
boring walls.
Bless the curtains
that hide our secrets.
Bless our voices
that whisper truth.
Bless the hair
that grows on chins.
Bless each child
that never knows love.
Bless the playgrounds
where history repeats.
Bless the class rooms
where games are played.
Bless the blackboard
that speaks to the deaf.
Bless the text books
that lie updated.
Bless a woman
whose lips leave stains.
Bless the changing rooms
full of uncertainty.
Bless the jeweler
that holds together marriages.
Bless the diamond rings
blood was shed for.
Bless myself
for being a fool.
Bless myself for believing in good.
Bless myself for hurting myself.
Bless you for the spring.
