Swimming Upstream

Struggling against 
the current of society’s 
seeming indifference 

Flashing neon signs 
point downstream, 
trying to obscure the 
pain and suffering 
of the well-traveled path 

Trying to harden 
our minds and our hearts, 
so we ignore the plight of others 
and concern ourselves with 
only our own comfort 

Trying to convince us 
the stream only goes one way 
and it is useless to fight 

But the path upstream 
is filled with love 
and that is the 
destination we seek
