What You Really Want Rl Poetry Contest

For R . L What you really want Political Poetry Contest 26/03/2021 Politics L.M.H Learn from your elders a wise old Q-tip When veryone gets treated equally as an individual based on this fact or premise That one's deeds and actions meeted out to other's are reciprocal in kind So cometh the day the good and caring aretruly blessed and 1st in every que And those of opposite persuasion hopefully have eye's to spare Or in the back of their head Answer the question What i really want Is like what Martin Luther King said I also have a dream For when the day comes when a single politician or political party Makes and turns this vision of utopia into a Boniface reality And this question poses becomes redundant I hope this clears my politics up First and foremost respect and learn from your elders And put to good use and utilize their experience and worldly knowledge As it can only benefit future generations to come If god willing they have the humility to listen Rather than name and shame oblivious to the facts

Congratulations Christopher on making the podium, with this very level headed poem, of what you really want, and it’s not out of reach, if we would only listen to our experienced elders, especially in our teenage years, cheers David

With reading Milton and your interaction this piece takes on new meaning. I would have placed it higher but you forgot to list your political affiliation at the bottom of your poem. I do thank you for your entry. Blessings Rick.

Cheers much obliged Richard and appreciate you taking the time to read and place my poem greatly. As per usual my entry missed was incorrect or failed to meet the criteria set. My political affiliation is hard to align with or to any political party or agenda sadly. Because unfortunately none in reality seem to be or do any good. Self , self , self and greed seem to be the order of the day once in power. Both afflicted and affiliated to Cynicism maybe that's mine

This is much better, Christopher. Now, I feel like you are interested in learned from your elders and not criticizing. I'm glad I could help you. I appreciate you, and I enjoy reading your poems!

Christopher, I think this "poem" rant was totally unnecessary, but I'll leave it at that. I was offended by your attack on those of us who might be considered "elderly" now. Good Luck!

Other way around L.H.M i must have not got my point across. I was ranting against young people dismissing the elderly not the other way around sorry
