Poemattic: Poetry and Art for the Soul

An ode to Victory

Some people think that victory

is fickle

and is gained sometimes with a double edged sword.

Victory will come here

when We The People

join in mind and spirit

and fight against

bigotry, hatred, division itself,

and the ugly face of hipocrasy

that emerges when

truth wants to win and be the sole victor.

Our democracy demands equality, justice,

and the eloquence of powerful words,

the most beautiful descriptions of who we are as Americans.

Let no foreign, local or evil force

dominate us or decide our future for us.

We have joined to conquer evil before.

It is our solemn and ultimate right and privilige

to go out and vote.

Stay on that line,

Stay on that line,

That is the line that will lead us to victory.

Because when we stay on the line

there cannot be any detours or distractions.

Stay on the line

because a divided people is where

we must draw the line.

I believe a poem can change your life forever. I know many poems I read as a child made a difference in my life. I learned to believe in me. My senses started living along side me. My appreciation for nature and life increased by one hundred percent. As a result I paint, love photography, and I listen and try to pay attention a little bit more to everything around me. I also became a teacher to honor all those teachers who set me straight about life and learning.

      At this point in my life I only think about what kind of world my grandchildren will inherit. My children are obviously grown but I hope they will be able to deal with it all. I pray for their well being in terms of COVID-19. Many people still do not understand how deadly and devastating this virus can be. Thanks for your comment and for joining the fight.
