Where were you on March 24, 2018, the day
the Arc of History was bent toward Justice?

March for Our Lives

There’s so much strength in numbers
And energy flows to youth
Power abounds in causes
And justice attracts the truth.

Doubt these at your peril
Forsake them if you will
History will judge your actions
And you will foot the bill.

Judas sold his soul for silver
Midas lined his crown with gold
Disgrace your oath of office
And feel the wind blow cold.

The security of the nation
Surpasses those of states
Where once we armed slave patrols
That killed where freedom waits.

Around the world they marched today
Well-mannered they told us why
They were here to save the day
So no more friends would die.

Stop them if you think you can
But hear the words they say
They have promises to keep and
You’ll count them election day.

Greetings to One and to All.

Wisdom and Peace.

"March for Our Lives" paints the actions and moods of our days; and rings the bells of Justice. It is a cerebrating composition of rich contents and well discussed subject dealt.

Much gratitude to Author Poet Edward Phillips for this golden Scroll.

In reverent appreciation,

Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

Oh, yes!! My teens have reached young adulthood and voting age as have so many of their friends. They are afraid and fed up. Watch things change.

Love ya!

As I commented on Odin's poem earlier, my grand kids range from 8th to 12th grade. I told them, that it will be up to their generation to change the gun culture that exists in our country today, and that';s a good and positive thing. Despite what they'd like us to believe, the NRA does not stand for, "No Rules Allowed."

Who says the youth today are rudderless? They will inherit the mess we are making while headed to gated retirement, grabbed money in hand. Your poem says volumes about how hurt our young people are having to face a gauntlet of cowardly bullies with guns. More power to them!

Hopefully no one can stop this tidal wave that has finally begun to crest. Lawmakers will ignore the calls at their own peril, and rightly so.

Bravo Edward,
I predict the largest turnout ever(in the history of the world)for the November mid-term elections.

It's so good to see the youth of today around our Nations standing up and making their voices heard...They are determined and will be heard...
I hope serious change will come soon as a result...
It was good to read your words Ed...and as always, so eloquently put...
