The Queen of Our Hearts

Queen Elizabeth II is dead The whole world seems to be wailing, mourning All day and night long, from early morning To very late of the dead Of the night. The Queen’s pictures Are everywhere. Different features Of the deceased Queen are on All the channels. Once upon A time, there was a Queen Who lasted seventy years reigning Over many countries in the Caribbean In Africa and elsewhere. Many are mourning And the others don’t seem to care ‘Cause people die every second of the hour. Is it fair That we see so much pomp and grandeur In this day and age, when so many live in horror Hunger, poverty and insecurity? Yet, we tend to forget About the Queen of our hearts: Our Dear Mother That we take for granted and love with all our heart Love our Mom, because she’s the true Mother Nature Spread love, spread the seeds of affection to all Women On the planet. And remember that Mom is our real Queen. Copyright © September 19, 2022, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved Hébert Logerie is the author of several collections of poetry.
