To the Top of the Mountain
by Richard L. Provencher I gather in your skin Your eyes once downcast at a future In this land I shame knowing My whiteness shines brighter In the scheme of life but The arrival of a new President Brings a face full of shade Ingested with pride No longer at the back of the bus No more KKK except Martin Luther's Impossible dream Slow shuffling to new heights with Higher mountains to overcome. (c) Richard L. Provencher Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia. Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
