Seasoned Spring
Here is the time of new growth and life
as was in Prague and Budapest
So too in Cairo, Tripoli, Damascus
reform is not bloodless or taken in jest
Reform (n) Amendment of what is defective,
vicious, corrupt, or depraved,
is an act of the discontented and hopeful,
an attempt to turn around and save.
Remember, there is no guarantee that
what is desired by you is achievable
Just because you believe what is best
doesn't make your thoughts conceivable
There are many other people of races,
many locations deemed in need of reform,
by those who do not possess that power to
change corruption and weather political storm
And too, though other souls take time
and their own hearts to improve
does not insure that their blood spilt
will cause democracy on the move.
