Signs On The Horizon Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Restoration of those values,
Intergrated with dusted standards...
And the fading of faith based beliefs,
Seem to have been resuscitated...
Briefly.

People take to the streets to rejoice,
Briefly.

A pride kept on hold with a retelling of greatness,
Replace malaise...
Briefly.

But there are signs on the horizon,
Coming.
With a promise to end tensions,
Wounding those stunned.
A new day comes to awaken,
With a permanence.
And not just to make a brief stay!
