CAN POETRY CHANGE HISTORY?

My friend, thank you
That does feel true
At least a possibility

I cannot say
But every day
I'll choose this vulnerability

And if this test
To be my best
Results in a futility

At least I'll know
The words I'll sow
In men and woman may bestow

Visions to lift us from the lows
And stand up strong and take the blows
Inflicted by our friends and foes
That seem unphased by where this goes

But if can help just one good man
Or woman be the best they can

To show up strong
And play it long
Knowing with peace that they belong

To a great tribe
That shows with pride
The talents gifted deep inside

A knowing that they have a gift
An opportunity to lift

The men and woman on this plane
To play a more meaningful game

So sons and daughters of us all
Know what it is to drop the ball
But pick it up and then install
A peace within so they can call
Themselves so worthy, they can fall
Yet know they are infallible

To others dreams and expectations
Tragedies and celebrations
Fears sold by leaders of our nations
To mask our very souls creations

Of love and strength and gratitude
Certainly not platitude
I'm talking about an attitude
That lifts all others to a mood

Where there's a peace and clarity
That they can meet adversity
Altogether peacefully

With their hearts and heads held proud
So quiet, and yet oh so loud
They will be beacons in crowd
Despite hearing they're not allowed

To see
Or be
Completely free
To share their glee
Infectiously
With love, purpose and brevity
Not bend a knee
To tyranny
But share the dream that you and me
Want for our children's kids to see
So they partake in history
And rebuild this world purposefully.

To you, my friend
I will contend
That if we all indeed intend
To thwart efforts to bring an end
To lies that many still pretend

Then we must be
For all to see
Stronger than the adversity
Willing to be a tall poppy
And shine a light for all to see
On greater possibility

So thank you dear
For seeing clear
This fire in me that makes it clear

I have no choice but to announce
That I will give every last ounce
Of love and strength so we denounce
captivity. That's all that counts.

Now this may not be the solution
But otherwise it's destitution
We must remove all the pollution
Placed in our hearts through long collusion
Of governments and institutions
Designed to worship prostitution
Of our inner constitution

Guiding us to look for good
So we can do the things we should
And know we could
And know we would
Then be completely understood

For who we
Without our glee
In prisons voluntarily

I've made the choice
To use my voice
In every moment to rejoice

What we've acquired
Freedom desired
And even though we've all grown tired

I pray
To say
Words that will play
In hearts around the world each day
So in my way
I will portray
A warrior in this affray
So men don't stray
And walk away
From roles their sons and daughters may
Never witness unless dad's stay

And fight the fight
Of good and right
And demonstrate to them a rite

Of passage that let's them take flight
Far beyond the greatest heights
Of what the TV says they might

Achieve one day
If they don't stray
From thoughts that they
Are woke or gay
Or in some way
They're not OK

So I say stop
With all the rot
From all the bots
Creating not
What we all want

So I don't know
if this will sow
Intentions for this world to grow
Challenge to all us to bestow
Upon ourselves so children know
I'll just give it a red hot go

'Cos life really is worth living
We all need our hearts to sing.
So that all of us may bring
From within a special thing

Giving thanks for everything
Answering the bell that rings

Deep in our heart
That is the start
Of all the joy our presence brings.

So thank you friend
For your suggesting
Such a dream I've been digesting
The truth is we are all investing
And in away we are protesting
Against the powers that are testing

Our resolve to find solution
A way to make a contribution
Through the lies and mind pollution
This just might be the revolution.

Thank you for inspiring me, my friend.
