I'm really bad at titles...

But here's something I wrote. It's not great, but I think the message is intact.

Joy abounds
in sights, in sounds,
not focused inward nor simply serene
but exploding outward like nothing we've seen.
Changing perceptions, hearts and minds
as all who seek are sure to find.
And even those who never sought
are sought themselves, their ransoms bought.
Forgiveness flows, one to another
Prodigal Son is welcomed by brother.
Peace comes with clarity
as all disparity
is wiped away
for we are equals, all, today.
But equals, not same, for same is old,
and God, in wisdom, is ever bold.
Perfected above
as God above
is God around,
our saving ground
where grace is found.
If God is here, then why should we wait?
Why continue in rejection and hate?
Is this heaven? No, I say,
this is our world's potential, today.
