Featured Poets: True Hoffman

I went out
and I saw the streets
They were covered in troubled things
There was a woman holding an old photograph
And a man with a mind that’s gone nearly black
I went out
and I know what I’ve seen
It’s the world itself tearing apart at the seems
People are screaming “God help me”
And wildfires rage across the seven seas
I guess you could say
you could all donate
Instead of giving your time just to serve up a plate
Let me tell ya friend
What some good love will do
It’ll keep you safe while you heal from a bruise
I went out
And I reached for the sky
There was a dove that fell
Like a tear from an eye
I went out
And I touched the grass
I thought about my future
And remembered my past
