2013

 

 

Let my ship sail out to sea

Find my compass let me be

The step in your heart always

The song in your dance all days

 

Find me the ink write the word

Let everyone’s voice be heard

Still the drumbeat of all war

Tell me what guns are there for

 

Hear the children’s cries at night

All that’s inhumane take flight

See dreams of a lit sky

See me and tell me just why

 

All colours are a delight

There is no black and white

God in everyone don’t fear

Justice finds us this New Year

Sweet sentiments indeed,
Each and every day is a new day
Yet each day our children starve
Or learn to use firearms, to kill and maim
When will the rapes stop?
The hatred, and the murders ....man is destroying himself, for each New Year brings more injustice, pain and suffering......

The question is....what will you or I do about it? the most truthful answer is NOTHING!

Enjoyed your poem though. :O)

May there be such a New Year of peace and joy... 2012 seemed so hard and heavy... a painful mix for the world... Thank you for this glimmer of hope in our journey together.

I like how this progresses...the first verse is gentle, then it gets increasingly dark before ending on another gentle note...a very lush and beautiful piece...well done :)

Moon this can be very good in Hallmark Greetings Card.
I see also how you worked with rhythm and rhyme. I am impressed.
The diction is light and the numbers of syllables each line just created music to ear as I read the poem aloud. Wonderful write.
