Notes About The Poem

A statement to the intrinsic human value to look for leadership.

Politically Speaking

The Oracle spoke in tongues
Of crisscrossed words reversed in a pattern
Percolated in the minds to be given to lungs
Then tossed to the winds like a light to the lantern

Giving out hope for each to carry out
A new day that torched in their voices
While the words that did sway and melted all doubt
Meant all they could say or impart in their choices

A time when tribes and clans joined to make great their cause
But forgetting the reason for all the applause!
