A PERSONAL ADDRESS

I am not good at writing
My words, not exciting let alone uniting
I try to be inciting
Highlighting
The issues affecting us all
I can't take my eyes off the ball
In. Every. Single. Scrawl.
But I don't have the talents
I can't rhyme
Don't devote enough time
to my message
Here's a presage

I may be no king
But I'm thought-provoking
I wrote this for real
Some of them I feel
I write this to heal
This isn't a story
This is an allegory

I am told I am gifted
I must not allow my ideals to be drifted
My tone hasn't shifted
The message remains
Ingrained in your brains

For life to thrive
We must: Stay Strong. Stay alive.

  Stay alive
