By John R. Greenwood
There is no wasted revolution
that brings peace to strangers,
light to desperation.
Circle the granite wagons.
Only separated will we crack and turn to ash.
Spin the screw tight.
Smother bigotry and hate.
Talk is cheap when watered with
weakness and slouched spirit.
There remains one chance to cleanse the soul at hand.
It is time.
Past due.
My submission for: Sunday Whirl
In agreement, I love the message your words carry, and the words themselves. "Circle the granite wagons." is brilliant. It's nice to see you at the whirl again. ~Brenda

ReplyDeleteBrilliant wordle, John. The last half of the poem is so right on; and yes, it IS past due!
ReplyDeleteThe ending caught me ... I like that.

I liked that very much!
Nice and tight. Those granite wagons probably get low milage, but make for a grand circle.
ReplyDeleteI like your blog name
Beautiful idea expertly expressed, John. Great use of the wordle.
