This is my proclaimation
of 3rd worldly emancipation
The bodies of undiscovered
infinite knowledge
Too poor for highschool
& college
will RISE UP!
And take control
of their manifest destinies
Ebb the flow of their
stolen dollars & pennies
We are ready - to stand up
- to speak up
To form swarms
of justice geared bodies
A mass refution
of the constitution
installed by feared parties
Demolish the institutions
with universal revolutions
Hungry, and beaten
But not yet broken
We're finished with being spoken for.
This is not a metaphor.
Gas mask your babies
Swallow iodine pills
- Not just for cheap thrills
The hour nears
The day draws close
It's time we realize We are
What matters most.
Strong, ironic and clear verses from a poet who loves civilization and life and calls for the time we realize who We are. This is the essence of his poem. I give a 9++ as a starting point, and thanks for sharing, Delwen Doyle. Go on with fresh ideas. Joseph Josephides Member of the International Society of Poets (ISP) Intern.Library of Poetry awarded
