Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is song.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
A political number poem for someone who uses song to follow the family tradition of political activism:
Silence never was a long-term option,
Even in the years not fit for song.
Vested in your heart a legacy
Endures of a humane morality,
Not bound to faith or tribe, but to a long
Tradition of family in the ranks of reason,
Years and generations deep and strong.
Then sing, sing of love and peace with passion,
With all the beauty, wisdom, clarity
One voice can yield to the winds of right and wrong.
