Joy is the Justice We Give Ourselves.
Joy is the steady running stream, rights sprung up from moss soft ground, under hanging trees nourished by blood, grown through pain, now seeping sweet. Equalities demands made clear from sea to shining sea, north to south, west to east, fly over heartland in between.
Joy is the truth, the crooked lies hammered straight, white washed midst wiped away.
Joy is the sunrise breaking through night's remains, shown new on a shell-racked shore. A fresh tide scrubbed world redeems what was to is.
