Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is politics, in honor of Presidents Day, which is
celebrated on February 20.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A number poem about people in the future looking back
gratefully on present-day vegans as having made a significant political choice:
For vegans, there are blessings from the future.
One takes pleasure in them in advance,
Relishing the grateful backward glance
Towards oneself from those who’ll cherish nature,
Yet know that it did not survive by chance.
