We
Working like horses
Can rise like mountains
To look down on the flowing rivers
Of poverty
II
We
Together like bees
Can be highly equipped
To battle alien soldiers
Of corruption
III
When wires of confusion
Develop fingers of wickedness
As fingers of indifference sit on
Other walls in folding
We, can break free if all eyes stand on guard
IV
We are our rains
We are our suns
We are our loud resounding thunders
We are our clouds
We are our shrouds
Why are we our own Frankenstein monsters?
If we can blend
These parts we are
We will gun our haunting frightening lions
And make our habitat fairer than Zion

I just love your poetry, but have lost my muse along the path of time.

It will come. The muse thing touches once our emotions are affected. So don’t think about it at all, there will come a time it will just shoot up. Trust me.

Wow! Dave! I don’t know about others, but you reading my poems make me feel worthy and because of that, you are more than worthy.
