Act Now!

So much work to be done
So much planned to be plained
Smooth as a surf board
To catch the wave and master it
To capture the surge and steer it
Time to jump in and get wet
So much work to catch up on
We were so lazy to think
Each plate was full to the brink
Assuming all had a fair shake of salt
From fast food to food lines then SNAP
While people have cut in line
The One percent are not inclined
To even share the table scraps
It’s time to pick your causes
No more pregnant pauses
Act out
Act now
Participants
We are not sycophants
It’s not to late
Just speak and march
So much work still left undone
My writing is typically written while I'm on a treadmill, so I call myself "the treadmill poet!"
Born in West Chester Pa in 1960 I have been inspired to begin writing again through my interactions with two people I care deeply about that are experiencing the torrents of mental illness.
