Revolution: my poem for the fighters in Wisconsin, and everywhere...
I hear the birds call outside my window
and the news says we’re in for
a revolution

how can it be?

The world is quiet
outside my window
is there a war brewing?

I read the news and it sounds so dire
but the sea was calm
the sky is tranquil the sunset beautiful

how can there be
war

the cool spring breeze
curls past my arm
but yet you say

we are in
for

war

I’m not afraid
of this
revolution

It’s time

Haven't seen a political/issue-based poem from you (that I can remember, at least), until now.

19. Thank you, my dear UrbScotty...
I rarely write them. But the night I wrote this, I was consumed by the events of that night...

And the words just came tearing up out of me!
