Rise up say your piece
unite for a cause
stem unreason’s tide
truth above the laws
hold back foolish notions
punish not our beliefs
this cause may seem deranged
generations filled with grief
**********************************
with unrest we can’t sleep
we are in need of change
no silence we will keep
set things in motion
stop machination’s jaws
people side by side
upend meaningless clause
our world in need of peace

The ESL work I did in Crimea was over the summer.
I would be preparing now to leave.
Where are those students today?
Who knows?
Who
Cares?
The Poet’s United Midweek Motif is prompting poets to write about public protest.
Poets and artists have always had a voice that rings truth.
What do you feel strongly about?
I am saddened by news coming out of Crimea.
