Verses for the Masses - PopPoetry

Just as the Internet happened upon us and changed our world, I foresee poetry in a new and renewed resurgence: the shorthand for social communication, back-stopping our drift away from heavy reading. Verses for the Masses promotes the Culture of "Popular Poetry", will help make our day, our way, our world, a better blend. Here be First Leg of my Literature Tripod & New Media Offerings.

The Final Train

Hail Democracy
tough though the march
I hail from my pained heart
I hail with hope
We hail from our low stool
We hail with pride
I hail! I hail! I hail!

Hail democracy
tough though the march
I hail because I know
I hail for me
We hail because we see
We hail for kids
I hail because I believe
I hail for country
We hail because we receive
We hail for time

We will vote
We will queue by sun
We will vote
We will troop in rain
Hail
We vote Democracy for us
not them
Hail
We vote Democracy for kids
not them
We hail! We hail! We hail!

Hail Democracy
It will sure come
Hail Democracy
It will sure stay
Hail, dear doubter
It will sure pay
If you hail as I hail
when I hail as you hail...
We will hail
we won't fail
We will own
a new dawn
And this country will sail
as one nation, a great ship
to the shores....of plenty!

This is a song to lighten the burden of those preaching DEMOCRACY, and to beam some soft light on the souls of those doubting it. Sure we can do with some stirring, can't we!
