A New Day Poem by John Sensele

A brand new day in my home town dawns
When innovative ideas imbued with empathy strengthen bones
To afford the vulnerable occasions to fete
Events in rents, scents and tents that uplift their fate.

A brand new day wrapped in open opportunities
Brings along bliss shared in my communities
Where rich and poor hobnob with one another
To harmonise coexistence for inhabitants to enjoy together.

A brand new day once in a while generates renewal
Ensconced in better relationships to mark malice withdrawal
Affording neighbours ounces of chances to live in harmony
To share laughter and love with neither pomp nor ceremony.

A brand new day shines through the veneer of offence and pretence
When altruism and optimism promote life beyond mere existence
For my community members to live above the poverty datum line
In which zillions of ghetto dwellers wallow on a famine incline.
