Open Your Heart Poem by John Sensele

Open your heart, ostracize offices
That sanctify, solidify and solemnify slavery
In a city where authorities pass off murders
For brazen bravery blessed and beatified in their breviary.

Open your heart, oscillate between
Hope and hurry to build bridges
To ensure your keen
Gregarious grace rebuffs racist ridges.

Open your heart, occupy oblong
Spaces where friendship
Salutes civility and sings a song
For progress and success to pummel a shame ship.

Open your heart, overcome opacity
To rekindle hopes
For reconciliation and redemption to reign in the city
Which promotes poverty and fans flip flops.

Open your heart, overwhelm hostility
Towards detractors and subtractors
Who in their miscalculations mistaken amity and affability
For fear factors among patience, prudence and peace proctors.
