Written in celebration of National Poetry Month - 2007
When the world echoes sounds that would keep us down Poetry sends back refrains that say Let me lift you Let me give you insight to light your way Unravel mysteries Cope with life's inconsistencies Comprehend the reality that uncertainty paves the road we must all travel Let me share answers from ancestors With youth and elder alike-- Share with truth seekers knowledge that empowers Let not the fear of this hour rob the world this cherished light or deny tomorrow it's victory This is the charge of poetry For this she shall ever reign supreme as Queen!
