Demonstration Of Hope

Demonstration Of Hope

What we seek from being together this day

Is truth, understanding and a better way

Gathering in a street to make our voices heard

The authorities treat our unity as absurd

But we all believe everything can change

It is time to deal with priorities and exchange

The politics of greed, hate and selfishness

For hope and love, ending all that is worthless

All we want is to have a future that is fair

Not seeing millions living in poverty and despair.

I like this poem of courage and dignity asserting 

rather than submitting. Poetry is a useful vehicle 

for change, political and social. 

You clinch this issue/s with 

"All we want is to have a future that is fair

Not seeing millions living in poverty and despair."

Best wishes Jai :)
