Beautiful Times from Kindness by Samuel Joseph Kim

How can you call this
The best days of our lives
When the sun
Scorches our skin
And the wars are lighting skies

And I know the tears
Missed by reports
When you're numb
To the drones
Of Internet blackboards

What does it take to know
That these are beautiful times
What kind of miracle
Will come so we come alive

How do you wake
When you can't
Sleep through the night
Home is far
When you're lost
And it's still not occupied

I'm tied
In dead labels
Of black and white
With no air
To breathe
With protests pacified

What does it take to know
That these are beautiful times
What kind of miracle
Will come so we come alive

These are beautiful times
These are beautiful times
