The Day of Discovery

Today will be a revealing
the curtain will be pulled aside
to expose the best and the worst
we will laugh
we will lament
we will discover how deeply the
roots of disunity have delved into
human hearts
we will watch for signs of humanity
acted out on the stage of public encounter.

Today will be a defining
we will be known for who we are
and what we are
the world watches and waits
and wonders
we will emerge in strength
or in sorrow
today will redefine or reclaim a dream

The world waits with uneasy anticipation
for the revealing of the sons and daughters
of truth, mercy, hope
