if i could kill yesterday

.

no, not kill…un-birth it,
yesterday, so
i wouldn’t have to knowingly know

there’s a kind of hurt
all over the world
all over the world
tonight

and it’s a powerful machine
of human flesh
from
“Ain’t gonna take it anymore!”
to
“Can you hear us now?”

one half hour till morning
the odor is not fading
nor the resolve

if i could kill yesterday i would not
somewhere somebodies learned
something
if not only
human evolution in time
for Compassion

if we ever needed you
we need you now
