In Poetry My Friends

Let’s hold hands Stand shoulder to shoulder Next to each other Like brothers and sisters Like brave and valiant soldiers In poetry my friends We do not use foul Language We use our heart and soul Throughout our passage We tell the truth We describe the roof Its contents, its color Its shape and its odor We expose the deficiencies We explore the possibilities We win because we’re not afraid to fail We respect our brothers and sisters As we work, as we pray, as we sail We love Mother Earth, her flowers Her beauty, the four seasons And everyone with good reasons. We despise the terrorists The dictators and the racists We’re never afraid To fight hate and hatred We do not use foul Verbiage We explicitly use soul Language Nobody can fool us As we fight for justice Reconciliation and peace Let’s hold hands Poetry is our weapons Words are our bullets We do not need guns We use simile, verbs, epithets We sing beautiful songs We use different tongues To warn our enemies We are no dummies Let’s hold hands As siblings, as great friends So we can get to the top together So we can be stronger than a pillar And taller than any tower We have the power Good will always defeat evils Let’s vanquish all devils God is on our side He is protecting us as we ride As we walk, as we march, as we fly As we’re breathing happily under the sky.
