David Smith Poet Imagism

My Hope For Future After Lockdown

Things look  grim for the career crim,
  who has hopes of becoming a kingpin
As more are dobbed in,
I  am hopeful this will help us win,
When we throw the locks in the bin,
And Kick up such a din,
That more doors are kicked in 
As covid 19 has taught us what it takes to win,
And who best to vote in.


If we wear our new habits with pride,
And don't backslide,
We will push the crim aside,
As we rush outside, 
With numbers on our side.

Timothy Hicks May 3, 2020 at 11:46 AM I like the feeling of renaissance on the horizon (just as soon as we are let out of our cage) ... right on! Now is probably the primo time if plotting and planning is to be properly done ... lol. A good feel-good piece for what lies in store ... beyond our front door. David Smith May 3, 2020 at 3:26 PM My wife is from the Philippines and she was there when they overthrew Marcos in 1986. It was pretty much bloodless. The same happened when Berlin Wall was torn down. I live for moments like these, when the people truly speak up as one. I think think that time could be now. Criminals don't like it when grandma brings out her shotgun from under her bed or in the case of the overthrow of Marcos sat in her wheelchair in front of tanks.
