Sovereignty

POSTED IN contemporary poetry October 12, 2013

 

Sovereignty

I didn’t write a poem
it was merely a comment
passions plea, not a tome
truly not written to vent

I see the lack of equity
and desire for conformity
no room for self mastery
in a disconnected society

Rulers mould and control
but coercion births anarchy
I ask for good of the whole
and respect for community  

You read a poet’s spirit
her answer is self-control
she sees diversity’s merit
the sovereignty of each soul
