Eventually

poem by: Ann Parks
Written on Feb 20, 2021

I will learn to love myself fully -  eventually.
We will understand how alike we all are 
and cease the hatred - eventually.
I might understand what I now suspect
that my life is no accident
and no man is my master - eventually.  

Eventually we will make allowance
second by second for failings of others
and forgive instantly 
and ask what we would do in their situation:
no more or less than love in action.

I will meet my lionised forebears
triumphantly lifting me through the skies - eventually.
This fragile blue planet will take its revenge on us
for choking it near to lifelessness - eventually.
With pandemics and hurricanes
it now tries to halt us (my theory)
and may just succeed 
by killing enough of us - eventually.

Eventually I will understand everything
both wished for and unseen.
I will remember that 
things I knew early in life
about my future
(both good and bad, trivial and major)
have come true exactly
as I sensed they would........  
Eventually we will all long for justice
and justice for all there shall be.
