A Poem a Day (169): What stands

What stands

What matters

And what lives

What stands

And what grows

What speaks

And has a voice

What dies

And cannot breathe

What fights

And wants change

What imprisons

And must fall

What sleeps

And must wake

What divides

And must go

What kills

And must end

What lessons

We must learn

What survives

We can hope.
