History is Made (Poem)

[Joanna Ballard ~ Louisiana Storyteller]

Maybe it is just my cynical idealism, ... maybe it is folks the world over pining hopes on one human being with all the frailties and glory being human entails, ... maybe just maybe it is all the stories I am entrusted with the unsung heroes and heroines, that NEVER make the news, that have fallen in wide cracks of our justice and medical systems, ... maybe it is the reality of the good ole boys network, wars, poverty, injustice, ... maybe the stories I know and can do nothing but weep over ... Maybe ...


Anywho I am giving praise and thanks I am NOT freezing my Southern backside off in D.C. and reposting this.


Enjoy!?



History is Made


Yet again.

Page one
wet with
ink,


Yet again.


Will the
fallacy
that might
and money
make right,
politricks
as usual,
be repeated


Yet again?


Humanity
waits,

holding
it's
collective
breath.


Will
Truth
and
Love
be bypassed,


Yet again?


Page two
waits
to be
inked.


Yet again.


History
in the
making.
