Cotton Field Dreams


Desolation is a dusty road How soothing is a leader’s gentle sigh In DC, crowds buzzing and humming with anticipation. Will 1963 change the course of the world? He tells us Dreams grew in the cotton fields But, decades later can we say we have grown from the concrete? Stay steadfast in faith and find peace Because heaven bathes in the deserts sorrow And the sun lingers long on bloodshed.
