I heard this poem on a promo for the Sundance Channel's show Iconoclasts featuring Ruby Dee and Alicia Keys. I thought it was very moving and decided to write it here so I wouldn't forget it.
TODAY IS OURS
(Anonymous)
Today is ours; let's live it.
And love is strong; let's give it.
A song can help; let's sing it.
And peace is dear; let's bring it.
The past is gone; don't rue it.
Our work is here; let's do it.
The world is wrong; let's right it.
The battle is hard; let's fight it.
The road is rough; let's clear it.
The future vast; don't fear it.
Is faith asleep; let's wake it.
Today is ours; let's take it!
