Community Flood Damage Control Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

emotive political
anti-war poems
innocent poems
are flag blocked

policy is not
freedom of speech
responsibility
and harmony

flagging red
fellow members
who cannot
critical accept

analysis facts
reeks smacks
of McCarthyism
reds under beds

political clout
muscle flexes
cannot agree
rational disagree

this trauma land
in which citizens
we all presently
live community

is blame infected
intolerance hate
it gives an urgency
to anti-hate policies

instead of many
standing around
playing blaming
responsibility

for present flood
it is high tide time
we all collectively
sand bag our banks
