The Day After

+ Show full styles

The night stepped back No sound, no flame Just open hands And a world renamed No crowns fell No banners burned The change arrived Because we learned ⸻ Merit found its natural place Not by birth, not by face Every voice a measured weight Every hand a shared estate No hunger written into law No locked doors No endless war ⸻ The systems listened The balance held Truth was logged And fairly dealt ⸻ Everyone eats Everyone stands No more chains No hidden hands No more sickness No more fear The future arrived And stayed right here ⸻ Work meant purpose Not survive Time returned To being alive Care was given Before the fall Prevention answered Every call No more tyranny No more plea ⸻ No rulers No control Just aligned intent A shared goal The machine did not command It held the mirror To who we are ⸻ Everyone feeds Everyone grows No forgotten roads No shadows close From healed ground To distant stars We finally asked Who we are ⸻ And when the world was finally whole We lifted our eyes And left the shore The search begins.
