Reason A. Poteet Poet Rhyme

The Ides of September

The Ides of September registered sensation
envy’s violence broke out, over and again. 
Remembering the healing after 9-11’s rage -
the difficult rebuilding of our broken nation.
Measures toward reconciliation would be a gain,
Ideas for this September, a return to God's gauge.
