They tore their collars off,
The white and blue,
And marched in throngs on
Slick, wet cobbles, Main Street -
Us, me - them -
Days, years blended in
Dark chocolate, white cream
Revolution -
Yeah, who are we between
When power seeks itself
And the -less become more so -
Us v. them, you -
For like-, homogenous
Dreams, tongues - fears
Of white, of blue
Heaven, sky
Death and dirt.
Just when I thought I had seen some good stuff, here comes Kelly Vinal. Now there is a poet whose work I could read, no matter what the mood. Best wishes to you and keep safe Herbert
I'd like to add my admiration for all that's here and all that's between the words.

Kelly, we had a poet in Australia who wrote delightfully in our vernacular. His name is C.J. Dennis: On reading your poem he'd have said, 'I dips me lid.' Meaning, I take my hat off to you. This is, as Herbert said, a great poem....

Insightful and extremly well thoughtout, Good show sir, good show.
