Writing Wrongs

Should I write in rhyming words are you babies I should coo and speak of love and little boats of Dr. Zeus’s zoo. Should I compose a sonnet sweet while prayerful folk are weeping for war has come and killed their own while their lulled hearts were dreaming? Should I rave of man’s downfall and never raise a hand or shall I write of community the unity of man. Hand young and old, a tool to clone a key to all this babble an eye to see, a mind to grasp let them lose the rattle. For mind is bound to fortune and blood is bound to pain governments like sorcerer’s will fall once it’s seen plain. Take up the quill, and reach out observe, recall, rescind and the power you’ve given others will be yours in the end.

Dear Debbie, each line is a story in itself; the message a thoughtful one and each verse more special than the last. Keep up your wonderful verse in the new year. Luv, Lizzie
