Under the White Hot Lights...

Endings are always bittersweet.
I had hoped that this would not be the end,
That we could get another chance.
Under the white hot lights.
But politics and bias have prevented that.
So here we are...
The end of an amazing experience.
Of shared hopes,
Of ambitious goals,
Of frustration,
And sheer joy.
Under the white hot lights.
Trying to be a catalyst in the world.
The impulse of change.
A rising sun in a world full of darkness.
But we will not get a chance to be
All those things we wished to be
Under the white hot lights.
