Now And Forever Poem by jerome moore

The politicians all gathered around for a song
the thunder
the square
everybody there
rubber bullets
sound cannons
it was freezing trying to rain
seasick under noise cloud
black coded masses
human pigpen
and the rattling of glory like an old jalopy roaring down union
to liberty
to the library
to the litany of the ones who eat spinach
and the thunder rumbled with the bellies of the hungry majority
while the storm passed and all was left within nothing
a raindrop making its way to the sea
the imagination
the solidarity
the songs never die
as long as there are people like you and I
broken free from the invisible chains
and hypnotic nights
now and forever from hand to hand
creation whirling from within
the ride stopping.
the hour just sand
