Have we lost your value
are people still set free in you
or forgotten in ocean’s deep
idly lost in motion’s sleep
*
Can you retain your pride
is the cause rallied by your side
or are lies thick as thieves
and readily despised
*
Valiant raise your scepter
sally forth as victor
Veritas stand stately and tall
for if not you mourn society’s fall

Today over at Poet’s United Verse First’s Prompt is The First Function of Freedom

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing and publishing in multiple genres (including education) in E. African for E. Africa. As a writer, it is a thrill to write for children (on all continents) who want to learn.
I've been part of the blogging community for more than 13 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community.
I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers.
There are many facets to this moon - my joy is in meeting you!

Too many questions
too few (acceptable) answers

We have to wonder about truth sometimes. And we definitely need to look with suspicion upon anything touted as truth these days. The more access we have to communication, the more the untruths fly freely.
