I wrote this poem in the pantoum format. I hope you enjoy it. It earned a second place in the poetry category in the 2008 Writers-Editors Network 28th Annual International Writing Competition.

Me with my grandson Dave-one of the "Good Men" Now is the time for all good men Stand up: make your voice heard Refuse to be led like sheep Display your honest performance at every curtain’s opening. Stand up: make your voice heard When all around are afraid to show beliefs in actions and words Display your honest performance at every curtain’s opening Don’t play the role that plays it safe. When all around are afraid to show beliefs in actions and words You must excite others with your views Don’t play the role that plays it safe Apathy and cowardice are blood brothers. You must excite others with your views Think huge thoughts; believe strongly; verbalize liberally Apathy and cowardice are blood brothers Your ideas are just as valuable as the louder voice Think huge thoughts; believe strongly; verbalize liberally Welcome debate, criticism or disagreement Your ideas are just as valuable as the louder voice Never retreat from your credo to maintain harmony Welcome debate, criticism or disagreement Refuse to be led like sheep Never retreat from your credo to maintain harmony Now is the time for all good men.

Reviewed by Ronald Hull

Reviewed on December 6, 2016

With a bit of repetition the call is for each individual to stand up for his/her thoughts on any matter. I encourage that greatly. When we fall into agreeing with everything others say for us without thinking about it and expressing our concerns, we may fall into bad company.
