POEM 26
The sweetness of life is a vindication
Doing the right thing is the anthem
The work of justice is never done
One day, a peaceful world we will become
Hard work and fortitude required here
Attention required, the end is near
We have the power, nothing to fear
We are common residents of this wondrous planet
The opportunities are an astonishing banquet
Respect and acceptance are required
The utopia we desire will be acquired
POEM 27
When feeling blue, I drive to the beach
While a fair drive, it’s within reach
The wind and miles of sand
Wash away the cares of the day as planned
The quiet little tourist town
Yuppies acting like a clown
Can’t leave town without caramel fudge
Need to walk, so waistline doesn’t budge
Starting peaceful drive home, troubles emptied
Back to regular life, no longer frenzied
POEM 28
Dance with me, the night is young
No rhyme or reason, the fun has begun
The music inhabits our soul
Moving around the floor, a tranquil stroll
The fantasy of life goes by in a blur
Reality disappears, ecstasy grows deeper
The world of dance is an amazing place
It might be the salvation of the human race
The legs ache from crazy abandon
Sadly, signaling the evening is done
