Michelle Morningstar Poet Couplet

Disgruntled

Is this thing on?
I've got something to say!
Is this thing on?
Probably no one is listening anyway!
We live in a place based on unity
Why are we having such disparity?
We can't represent without proper tools
Dissing each other is just plain cruel. 
I thought we were supposed to be indivisible which means our bond can't be broken 
United we stand, a truer statement has never been spoken.
Rally up for a good cause 
Make your voice heard, change those terrible laws
Celebrate and Recognize we aren't all the same;
Keep the peace, make sure everyone is treated humanely 
Protect our mutual assets don't play the fools 
Justice and equality, protect our schools 
Be careful of small eyes and small ears
Guard small hearts and calm large fears 
I don't want a wall, I don't want a raid 
I don't want the piper to be paid 
I object to the plans of evil being laid 
I don't want a war, I want peace, love and light 
Injustice and hatred I will continue to fight.
I fear this boat is sinking fast
I'm taking our leaders to the task 
Make good on your promises that you will protect us
Instead of hiding behind dollar signs with attempts to deflect us 
Show me what you will do to save our beloved red, white and blue. 
I'm tired of the rhetoric, tired of the double talk with no action 
really can't get no satisfaction 
I'm tired of hatred, subterfuge and lies 
I want to see heart, compassion, a gentle reprise 
Of the things that make this country great 
clear Consciousness, love instead of hate 
We are all descended from people looking for a better life and chance to be great 
We need to remember this before it's too late.
The blood of our forefathers ran out as they pushed for democracy 
Don't let their sacrifice be made into a mockery. 
I don't agree with decisions that have yet to be made; I want a choice 
I will continue to raise my voice. 
Is this thing on?
I've got something to say!
We need to rally up and keep fighting for a new day.
Tides of change are coming swift and steady 
I'll stand on the front lines, poised and ready 
Intolerance and inhumanity I will never answer that call.
Unity, love, acceptance, unites us all.

Chris Green March 1, 2017 at 10:29 AM I agree and believe this is what most of us want, the problem is we all have different definitions of unity. I don't hide the fact that I am a Republican. I supported Bush and I support Trump, but...I also supported Obama...why, because he was our president of our United States of America. I didn't agree with all of his policies or agendas, but he was elected and he had my respect. I think this country needs to learn respect first, then work on the rest. I enjoyed your poem, speak out my friend.
