“We Shall Overcome”

when the wedges society places between us vanish
we can move mountains
with the force of cascading rivers

what was once frozen
begins to shift
we become each other’s solutions

celebrating our bonds together
and letting humanity’s
orchestrated healing begin

***The title of this piece is thought to have descended from “I’ll Overcome Some Day,” a hymn by Charles Albert Tindley
