The other C word
Contingent upon what
you choose to believe
Conspiracy or natural disease
Change is a verb set in motion
Communicable and Indisputable
Capsized in the chaos
Fear is the reckoning for those
who have never been afraid
For those who reside within the
fabric of fear
Cops and Robbers have always
been criminals
caring
compassion
culture
community
crisis
complicit
created
coerced
committed
causation
confined
communicate
Continue to
create yourself
Into someone you can be proud of
About this poem
