The Liberal movement in America is at a crossroads now in the Spring of 2016. Where do we go from here? As usual, when thoughts get deep and philosophical, I feel that prose just doesn’t cut it, and poetry is the only way to say what needs to be said. So, here is my latest effort to create a poetic weapon of mass construction.

Update: Got this on the Rec List. Thanks everyone.
What If We Saved Liberalism While Conservatism Crumbled?
Imagine,
Imagine if Liberals
Could save our movement
While the right wing extremists,
Who erroneously
Call themselves Conservatives,
Are destroying theirs.
Imagine
Just what
That would mean.
A chance,
A path
To move
The nation
Forward
The People
Forward
Our Values
Forward
Our Society
Forward
A new era?
Yes,
A
New
Era
I don't think
That's too much
To ask.
We
COULD
Have a chance
To make
REAL
and
LASTING
CHANGE,
And not just
On a few issues,
But
A change to the sea
A change to the air
A change to the land
For our nation
For our planet
A change in character
Across our country
Throughout the world
We Need
This Brave New Era.
It could be the revolution
We’ve been working for,
If we make it happen,
Now,
Step
by
Step,
Let's get it
Done!
