I Dedicate This

I dedicate this to the dreamers,

to the ones that don't believe,

to the children who are wanderers,

and individuals who feel aggrieved.

I dedicate this to the resilient,

to patients in bad health,

to the poor left with nothing,

even the folks obtaining wealth.

I dedicate this to the curious,

to the ones who live in fear,

to the victims of misfortune,

to the minorities and the queer.

I dedicate this to the founders,

to those who have felt lost,

to the go-getters with ambitions,

and rejects who've been tossed.

I dedicate this to the jobless,

to the ones who are employed,

to the students in academics,

and those in service and deployed.

I dedicate this to my family,

to the strangers I've yet to meet,

to the lovers I grew apart from,

even my enemies I entreat.

I dedicate this to the artists,

to the musicians of every song,

to the writers, dancers, sculptors,

and the actors who play along.

I dedicate this to the elders,

to the young, brave, and true,

to the adults who feel discouraged,

and souls of who we knew.

I dedicate this to my mentors,

to the influencers and the wise,

to the troubled and mysterious,

and those of every size.

I dedicate this to the parents,

to the siblings that push and shove,

to the newlyweds on honeymoons,

and the orphans in need of love.

I dedicate this to the humans,

to the animals of land and sea,

to nature which inspires us,

and the air we need to breathe.

I dedicate this to the masses,

to the planet we're all from,

to the many who inhabit it,

for all the days to come.

Your movement might be fleeting,

but your impacts here are great.

When your spotlight fades remember,

this poem is for you I dedicate.
