Shirley Mandel - Tony Vega - Janet Hunt Help Me Write Poetry
Thanksgiving
yet, the light came through
perhaps because she used words
that had kissed power ... you
know, the source of power, clouds ...
brothers rise! sisters, please rise
First, to revere your bodies, free
of unguided love, likes, white rice
and grains robbed of nourishment, secondly
you are wonderful, say it, mean it ... please
yesterday, a man who could have been
more useful to America, gave in to hate
when the academy robbed me, even
wanted revenge; He let it slake
because that is hnot "the Way"
How Jesus loved me then, THEN ...
before the foundation of the world
and NOW ... I have little but win still
because I learned to do with less, burned
my hate in celebrating each sibling who rises
rise ... RISE HIGHER, HIGHER
you can, and do, inspire
He's given each a golden fire
in its light, rejoice ... aspire
to know by serving; satan's a liar!

Post a CommentSpeaking of hate an disrespect, I've never seen anyting like what Obama has to put up with. I think it is pure hatred at him, and his race. Who knows right? There are a lot of people out there with evil hearts, who hide their malice behind ' political rants' when it is really deep seaded hatred. My opinion, for whatever it is worth. Just made me thing. :)
