Welcome to My Poetry Site
FEELIN' BLUE
A wave of BLUE has washed across
America. It has succeeded
In offering refreshing hope--
Something that is badly needed.
RED--suspicious--oftentimes
Regards BLUE with flaming derision.
Skeptical, it challenges
BLUE's unifying vision.
BLUE hopes to wash away
Signs of growing division and hate--
To put an end to skilled disruption
And odious chaos before it's too late.
Although people strive to try
To resist the wave, in due course,
The wave of BLUE can bring about
Positive change as it gathers force.
Perhaps the wave can also erode
Stubborn threats to freedom and rights
And dampen the unimaginable
Before the powder keg ignites.
Perhaps the wave will drown the practice
Of unfair treatment, voter suppression,
Verbal attacks, lies and deceit,
And unnecessary aggression.
The BLUE wave could very well
Tone down RED's fiery hue.
Now I feel more optimistic.
What's more, I love the color BLUE.
