Magnanimity
Truth works its ancient magic, shaping a fluid world––
moment after moment coming slowly unfurled.
Whatever force holds power to shift errant mankind
beams blunt messages to Earth hoping we will find
those who will stifle envy and hate and greed to sow
seeds of magnanimity for all of those they know
are in need of shelter or clothing, food or care,
abolishing injustices, stripping falsehoods bare.
That scroll upon which truth is written, unfurled once again,
reveals what some in power have called truth is really sin.
Prompt words for The Sunday Whirl are: beam blunt works moment own shape ancient envy truth scroll shift fluid

This reads like a quiet reckoning.
It feels patient, but unflinching, especially in how it separates truth from power.
The ending lands hard in the best way, not loud, just unavoidable.

Thanks, Christiana for your comments. Oh that we could unite truth with power but at the moment it seems not to be happening.
