They were fleeing the earth in droves

having cashed in on the dreams

they were sold on,

being left with only

a lonely feeling in the pit,

and a handful of pennies.

They longed to have fervent groves,

a one in which kindness teams

with love to help us hold on,

enough patience to loan me

a rough version of grit

in the land of the brave and the plenty.
