Toddlers Storm The Capitol

Toddlers Storm The Capitol 
*
Sitting on the beach
I watch and listen
To the ocean waves
Caress the shore
*
The Beauty of Nature
Keeps me steadfast in my
Fervent Prayer for Redemption
*
I beseech You 
To touch the
Hearts and Souls
Of the burgeoning leaders
In commerce and government
*
Enlighten them to a world
Where greed will destroy
All we treasure
*
Let the toddlers of our world
Keeping their legs wide apart
Hesitant between each step
Jerking from side to side
Walk to the capitals 
And stage a massive sit-down 
Where no one moves
Where we all  watch
*
As the toddler sit-down  
Gloriously demonstrates 
Our innate desire and will to keep 
The future healthy and viable
*

Hilda Greenhough December 10, 2023 at 9:28 PM Quite an interesting poem. The harmonious governments of the past appear to be gone. I'll be happy if they get back to talk and debate.
