Free for All

There’s pollen power free from the flowers 
     Just ask the bees 

There’s solar power free from the sun 
     Just ask the trees 

There’s thermal power free from thee Earth 
     Just ask da gnomes 

There’s free electricity from lightening boltz 
     Free ions in zee Air ... everywhere 
          Just ask the clouds 

There’s endless quantum power 
     Free quirky quarks in the phantom Zone 
          Just ask my clone 

There is an eternity of free dream power 
     Free within the hours and hours of Sleep 
           Just woke up from the Deep 

There is godlike power free for everyone 
     Just freely give in, confess obvious sins 
          Believe in Him, expect miracles 
               Just ask and we all will win 

There’s free electricity for us all 
     Just need the right gizmo already invented 
            Believing in a miracle that world leaders 

               All at once, like the hundredth monkey 
                          Become enlightened  

There’s revolution on the horizon, humans like to be free 
     If you just ask me, something BIG is about to happen 
            On this BIG blue ball of ours, something 

                                Free for all

Panagiota Romios Date: 9/1/2025 5:20:00 PM Hi Again, why this was never a POTD is beyond me, I wish I had your talent. Mine is different, but I’m not putting it down.. I have made plenty of errors over the years. But then I have written a lot of poetry.. I find this utterly beautiful., please keep writing Benjamin, thank you for being here. I agree with your point of view in this magnificent home. Pangie Fav Far Fav!
