This Poem Is
This Poem will not be read in school from books
No clever phrasing no interesting hooks
Wishing to show you another way to look
A poem is like a medicine some thing to be took
In doses large or small come on play ball
I’ve come to talk of long short and tall
How to rant in a shopping mall
Break down barriers resist a wall
I can show you the power of a single word
I got plenty will share my hoard
Everything is everyones if all accord
Always freedom my head has roared
To no single power will I be moored
Raging rivers will I ford floating free
In time and space severed umbilical cord
To look round doors peer over walls
Watching for another’s fall
Wisdom in a bird’s call to love equally
As to one As to all BUT
I am resisting a take no logic at all nightmare
Where even plants are treated unfair
Mother weeping tears so sour
Treated by her children as enemy not friend
All those baby animals eyes full of pus
Can only b the crime of a scientific us
Don’t tell dont Cuss for you a special bus
Pills not designed to give you a thrill
By blocking ideas its you they kill
Leading with a carrot on a stick
Through a treadmill no standing still
Until you think you’ve had your fill
Sum total of your life is nil
Just supplying a stronger pill
Oh no it’s a reality attack
One moment here’s a fact
Know the power of a single word
Mightier than crucifix sword
Pledge allegiance to this word
Never to a monarch or lord
With it let hearts soar
PEACE
