Free Cee a Challenge To Change

A CHALLENGE TO CHANGE On any foreign or domestic shore From the waves unto the ocean’s floor From Shangri-La to Chicago to China’s border There is the disturbance of destruction and disruptive disorder Amidst skies where stars secretly weep From Little Rock to Little Bo Peep From Arkansas to the covenant’s arc From Rhode Island to rabid and ravenous dogs who bark From fallow fields to furrowed brows From Boston to where a beggar bows From Kansas to a can-can coerced in France From Richmond to the rewards retribution recants Arrows no more, now bombastic bombs Slaying beauty’s babies, daddies and their moms White picket fences darkened by napalm At a moment when calamity co-opted calm Hearts playing a game of hide and seek From Washington to the wretchedly weak Life on this planet has become a challenge and chore All due to damnable and despicable war © 2012….!~free cee!~ PHREEPOETREE
