Writing Wrongs
Should I write in rhyming words
are you babies I should coo
and speak of love and little boats
of Dr. Zeus’s zoo.
Should I compose a sonnet sweet
while prayerful folk are weeping
for war has come and killed their own
while their lulled hearts were dreaming?
Should I rave of man’s downfall
and never raise a hand
or shall I write of community
the unity of man.
Hand young and old, a tool to clone
a key to all this babble
an eye to see, a mind to grasp
let them lose the rattle.
For mind is bound to fortune
and blood is bound to pain
governments like sorcerer’s
will fall once it’s seen plain.
Take up the quill, and reach out
observe, recall, rescind
and the power you’ve given others
will be yours in the end.
