Changes Poem by Tyrone Holmes

How are we?
happy and satisfied
watching the time
Fly on by

Never attentive
Of things that go missing
Such as
Love for one's country

How can you?
Love America, in her current state
So evident and violent
Such a huge mistake

How is it possible?
To love one's self
When the same exist
Amidst one's priorities

Mysterious guidance
of parental implementation
of nit and pick
At child; uniquely wild

In order for change in America
Attention is needed
'Help me, help me'
Is what she is pleading

To start this process
We begin with kids
Access and excess
Of beautiful minds

To change
For the better
Is what
We'll desire
