“Light” by Birtu Diefenderfer / “Cacophony” by Katherine Conjalka
Light
Birtu diefenderfer
Amiss the chaos , injustice and political demise
Through the corruption, hunger and pollution of the skies
Lies a beacon, a whisper, uttered at night
Providing comfort, hope , a cradle of light
A mother, a teacher , an overworked nurse
All trying , struggling to put cash in each’s purse
Despite the challenges, setbacks, and inner doubts
They survive on love, tackling any problem that sprouts
Lending a hand to neighbors, learning to forgive
Because anger and hate are demons no one can outlive
