sprite posted her entry into Deborah’s “Bloggers Annual (Silent) Poetry Reading,” and I figured I’d post something, too.

Of course, not being the erudite English major, I decided to post a poem by one of my favorite poets: Sir Paul McCartney.

Was It Really Twenty Years Ago?
      – Paul McCartney

What’s changed?
Issues still the same

Then we wanted

END APARTHEID
PEACE ON EARTH
LOVE & UNDERSTANDING

Now
What have we learned?

CHANGE COMES SLOWLY
But it is
CHANGING!!!

      KEEP PUSHING

KEEP THE FAITH
      AND PRAY
THAT WE HAVE BETTER NEWS TO REPORT

TWENTY YEARS FROM TODAY
