Notes About The Poem

we're going through something - together - but we aren't being drawn together


 

Ode

I feel like we could 
sing one of those righteous
civil rights anthems.

“We shall overcome”
goes to the pandemic point,
and we could hold hands.

Our kinship is dear, and earned,
with simple sacrifices.
Our struggle isn’t over.

Sad, but Georgia does preach unity and practice disparity. What can one expect in a nation where the majority elect a six-time bankrupt to manage their wealth and welfare? Keep writing as someday your thoughts may sink in! Aloha! Rico
