We Shall Emerge As New Creatures

We are not misfits.
But men and women
Learning to live again.
Learning to trust
In our own abilities
And in the decency
Of others.
Learning to seed ourselves
With the hope
For a better tomorrow
Despite the bitterness’s
Of a perilous today.
Our doubts,
Braced by faith.
Our hopes,
Backed with action.
We are not victims—
But victors.
