Languages of hope

In your words*
Flanked by Ministers
Prime
Or otherwise
A news conference
Hardly ripples
I saw the future
I saw truth
I saw leader
They read speeches
Made by others
You spoke
Truths
Met our eyes
Ancestors
Fed your words
More now I am hungry
More
Not to gorge
Amazon
Youtube
Netflix
But possibility
Real change
To raise up
Leaders
Who meet our eyes
And feed our languages of hope
