Don't forget to listen to a reading of the poem and discover the backstory behind the topics toward the end!
In this hour the
clock hands cannot
devour –
The lasting power
of what your
voice has
to say.
This nation,
no longer
poor of speech
or language liberation –
Is graced
by the bank
of your
Benevolence,
Financed solely
through divine
intervention.
The noble class
you come from
is neither socialite
or elite –
You are not the
cold celebrity or
airheaded athlete,
Your status bears
only one true name:
Humanity.
If such a rank
singles you out
then let it be so –
Queen of souls,
Let the fire of
your heart
set the world
and the infinite
beyond
Aglow.
Mike Brown (and other Laker topics) - The Los Angeles Lakers basketball team has instated Brown as their new coach.
