Shores of change

Shores of change

A Poem by Cheryl J. Turner

Swept upon shores of change

Reluctance is evident

Ignorance is the wall we meet

Bang the fists of resistance

Feel the power of revolution

We are the people

We are the one collective voice

 

Scar the face of the poor

Flush the cheeks of the rich

Find me a Robin Hood

For all of our sakes

 

Flow the tears of tyranny

Hold the hands of peace

 

Fight for our freedom

Liberation divine

Quiet no longer

My friends, it is time

This was a brave piece of writing... It had a sense of defiance in the first verse and was a call to arms thereafter, though I'm not sure I was entirely convinced the poet would have been in the van! But who can tell - the pen is mightier than the sword, lol
