Over the Edge

lay down your mind a moment for me let's journey together and we will see the rise and fall of many a cause for reasons perplex bring us to pause do we learn from before? and champion restraint? to leave our children with more than complaint? science has said there's ten years or less reduce our footprint or face final mess now lift ye from sleep and join the long line for we can push change I know there's still time rally your neighbors and vote with your feet over the rainbow....... there we will meet!

Very nice piece of poetry, challenging us to make a change and not stay asleep. For sure, history never moved forward with those who chose sleep. Thanks for sharing and inspirational poem. Caroline.
