I want to alert you to the Comments my grandson, Michael, and I have been posting on this blog, poelitics.net concerning the poelitic, Jerusalem. I encourage you to join the conversation.
MLK Day,
Today we honored MLK; we listened to John Lewis
Who spoke of raising chickens in his youth
And how he liked to sermonize them on behaviors righteous
Which, unlike Congress colleagues, heard his truths
He spoke of Martin Luther King and Selma and the March
Where he was beaten nearly to his end
And how the Selma nuns restored him so that he could march
Across that bridge with MLK again
His message quoted MLK: one’s never to give up
Speak out against injustice that you hear
Let love be unconditional; don’t suffer those corrupt
Be active, run for office, volunteer
John teaches by example; of Don Trump he made the claim
His presidency’s illegitimate
Because of Russian meddling; to help Trump was its aim
Without it, Trump might not have won some states
Don Trump’s inauguration John decided to boycott
By now some thirty colleagues have joined in
And demonstrations anti-Trump will happen all throughout
Our nation’s coastal cities and within
Auspicious Trump’s beginning as the nation’s President
His ratings are the lowest ever yet
His rash behavior these past months has made it evident
His term may be an existential threat
