"The World can wait"

Based on a real dream I had a few nights days ago

"The World can wait..."

Is what I thought after I saw her there

After we held hands

And when we talked till the Sun rose

I cared little for everything else

All else, beyond that place we were

As we held hands

We spoke to others at some point

But they I all now forget

I forget everything except

When we held hands and

I kept believing this—

This that I said, that:

"The World can wait"

– M.M.

"We fought the good fight"

We fought the good fight
Fought the uncaring world; we against all

And still the world said, "No."

In our hearts we believed we were right

Right and steadfast against all

And still the world said, "No."

We had no weapons, none of bite

It was right and justice that became our call

And still the world said, "No."

It will be time and time's might

That will show that life and life alone is all

And if the world says once more, "No."

We will say far more—far more—than simply: "No."

— M.M.
