division and dissension
calm turns to violent
change can't be stopped
for it has already come
no matter tomorrow
today holds the key
one day at a time
letting the change grow
hard to let go of power
clinging to domination
resorting to agression
to prove competency
twisting truth to fit
creating illusions
false situations fail
reality shows the motives
save the peace for all
spare the whips and stones
let all voices be raised
ring forth the change
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
...No matter tomorrow, today holds the key, one day at a time....I really like these three together!!!
ReplyDelete...Spare the whips and stones, let all voices be raised, ring forth the change...You used a lot of wonderful words and phrases in this one.
I'm less enamored of the sequence of the thoughts, but I find it important to hear the flow. Later, the sequence can be adjusted, if needed.
