Each day
The news
Brings information
Some bad
However the reaction
Your personal resilience
Determination
Brings hope
Effort into action
That understanding
Despite everything
Humanity will persevere
Because you focused
On the good will
Of the people
Choosing
Each other
Over the shellfish ego
That it is about
My future
Realizing instead
It is about
Our future
Our community
Together
Knowing good
Is inherently
The disposition
Of all of us
And even if
You see bad
Or have
Bad experiences
You personally
Decided
I will be better
I chose
With integrity
Never to be
The a**hole
But the one
Who despite everything
Chose well
