Truth and Reconciliation
When we stood
we had to walk away
we had to leave
but we tried to stay
and now at dawn
the days are grey
but hope’s not gone
we always say
We’ve walked miles to find our point of peace
we’ve broken laws to find our laurel wreaths
we’ve tried to tell the terrible truth
but there’s too much pain, we cannot roost
on the branches that belong to them
far off our treasured stem.

MTbarca i think wrote this very nicely and i really enjoyed the movie at the pne about the truth and reconcileation
MTbarca, that was a stunning poem. It captures what happened back then in 13
lines. I really enjoyed the PNE. This is great!
I thought that was a very moving poem. I remember that field trip clearly because it was so persuasive just like your post. Great job MTbarca
MTBarca I think you did an awesome job with the poem, it really moved me.
Hey MTBarca,
I think that you made a really moving poem.
I really enjoyed the workshops at the P.N.E!
MTBarca this is such a thoughtfully written poem. Very expressive. Good work.
