I really want any and all thoughts you have about these poems. I had such a fun time writing them and hope that you will have as much fun reading them!
Ushers of Jubilee
Out rush the ushers, sea about their knees.
Swirling, twirling, gleaming, beaming; singing songs of jubilee.
Receding light creates a sight, innocent and free.
Summer-bright shadows dancing on the sea.
Train behind them follows, hearts a-mirth with hope.
Into freedom straight they plunge, birthed anew in love.
One-by-one they leave behind old waters, death, and fears.
Ushers romp about the surf, splashing joy shed tears.
O Democracy
Jury, Jury on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?
The people answer tongue in cheek that he is, he is, lord of the hall.
Our Judge is worried not a bit,
He knows the outcome shall acquit.
Decision of the people wide,
When votes were cast and outcome lied.
He makes decisions from his throne,
Millions voted. “WHAT OF THEM!?” Their fate I, decide.
Lost is the voice of whole generations,
Hung upon ropes of our court, and back door litigation.
Vying for futures of young and old,
Mobilize, fundraise, then do what your told!
Citizens fight for beliefs and this nation,
Then king from his throne makes his proclamation.
What is the point of trying at all,
If lord, judge, the king has his way in the hall?
