LOVE IN ACTION ~ NATIONAL POETRY MONTH
It is Time
2017
ATTENTION!
THIS IS NOT A TEST!
Do not go quietly
into plight of Trumpland
Frightening surreal landscape
Oppressive
Overshadowed by stark ignorance and hate
Visceral
One can feel it in the air
Making skin crawl
21st Century Neo-Fascist Clampdown
BE DAMNED!
Tipping point toppled
A wake up call
Loud and clear
Do not bang your head
against a brick wall
Again and Again
Asking same questions
"Is it too late?
What can be done?"
Time to be courageous, calm, strong
Not hobbled in fear
Nor self-indulgent apathy and despair
Time to Speak Up!
Again and Again
Time to Take Action
Again and Again
Time for Freedom Songs to be sung
Again and Again
Time for Prayer
Again and Again
Time to Remember
Again and Again
Life is a Precious Gift
No, do not go quietly
into plight of Trumpland
RESIST!
Again and Again
Time to take a stand!
Time to Demand
what is right and true
It is time
Come Together
We know what we must do
Again and Again
