Conspire

Nowadays
gloom is easy.
Show some courage.
Drop the blame,
the outrage,
the comfort zone
of collective despair.
Teach your children:
you have a right
to be radiant,
alive like a rose.
The world began
with an act of joy.
Do you need to believe
in a conspiracy?
Then conspire with
the wound in your heart
to smile
from the Source of creation.
