To Death Misfortune And Joy Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Here's to the death
Of bloody war
To the death
Of ISIL
And all holy wars
Here's to the death
Of terrorism
To the death
Of extremists
All dictators
Here's to the death
Of racism
To the death
Of KKK
And all not OK

Here's to my misfortune
Learning through life's mistakes
Strengthening my fortune
From classic movie outtakes

Here's to your misfortune
May you learn about poverty
About sweat shop misery
'bout inherited fortune

Here's to Ode To Joy
To the music in all of us
To the poetry of the soul
To love and peace in the world
