Only Good Poem by David N. Munene

I see a great nation
And hear good people
I focus on celebration
Overlooking every ripple
They call me an ostrich
Yet am positively out of reach

I see a concerned president
Although my vote took no precedence
I easily lose count
When I think of leadership less pretense
They say I speak and write gibberish
Yet I appreciate and not just wish

I applaud the strength of the opposition
And will call no non-president president
For that would be useless emotion
With little if any good intent
They say they know my surname
And that this defines my shame

I am hearty and passionate,
About our own Vision 2030
For this alters the state of our state
And will overlook pigs so dirty
They say I am just awful
Yet all I am is hopeful

I see the thriving elephant population
This reassures me the rhino is safe
It means there is not too big an ambition
Especially when no one thinks poaching is a gaffe
They call me ecologically and policy illiterate
Yet I believe righteousness shall evil obliterate

I listen to family
As they brand their mornings classic
I appreciate living happily
But drama they embrace like valued antique
They say I am too ignorant
Yet all I do is focus on the important

I am only too aware we cannot evil weed out
As I celebrating evil, values it more
I mute at evil and about good, shout
Convinced that good, hushed winds shall blow
They brand me unrealistic and frail
Yet a hurricane’s epicenter is tranquil
