It was an honor to be a part of the US Dept of Arts and Culture today by speaking on a live interview and being asked to write a poem of what my vision/hope for America would be for a 100 years from now. With a few references to other poets and our team, I wanted to share this with you too to get you thinking of what you want your legacies to build towards.
Thy will be done in 2121
Time to rise again
We’ve done this before
Our past set us free
speak truth, Forever more
A Hundred years have passed now
We are a different breed
Our grandparents showed us how
To uphold our morals and creed
In Kindness, Love, Compassion
Respect, Honor, Unity,
Massive Action , Leadership
Mixed with inclusivity
Courage in our hearts
We do not know fear
Strength flows in our minds
Our breakthroughs so near
Peace and health consume our land
Our visions can not fail
From Heaven to Capitol Hill
Ethics will always prevail
If we should die today
Let them know it’s safe
What they almost lost too fast
We put in its right place
If anyone should wonder
how we got it done
Learn from their past mistakes
Reset your story, day one.
- Elva Trevino
