my poem for today


June 30th

The shameless counting king couldn’t sing
Today the scream of silence forbade a sound
The quiet anger did turn and not meander
Goodly folk did much to deftly warn the rest

Who can know which way passions will flow
Like a ducal army upon Sisyphatic hills
We will proclaim our unity without shame
Our love for each other is more than words

The stolen throne disgraced by lying tone
Defiled and robbed of dignity too long
Topple the pretender and end Caesar’s render
We’ve outgrown the need for figureheads

So rise up the banner of freedom’s manor
Not a physical thing it lives in hearts & minds
As one we defy and make it their turn to cry
No more needing others to control our fate
