TODDLERS’ ECONOMY
What’s mine is mine. What’s yours is mine.
Remember this, and we’ll be fine.
E-con-oh-me? Not for the wee!
E-con- NO! MY! economy.

TWIST HER
Photo credit: thedancingimage.blogspot
What changes would no twister bring?
Everything.
The wicked witch? I guarantee
Would still be
Ruby slipper’d, with stockings striped
Black and white.
Her Aunt Em’s home would not take flight
No straw psyche; no tin goodwill
Contentment would elude her still
And everything would still be black and white.

Forget the Pride
Remember: You, to them, are “they,”
So make a way
To understand –
Extend a hand.
Examine self with open eyes
Unchain the lies –
Let truth prevail,
For bonds are frail.
Forget the finger-pointing blame.
Inciting shame
Produces hate.
Don’t take the bait.

Beneath a Common Moon
Could we respect our elderly,
Our mentally
Unwell and worn;
Our foreign-born?
Opinions that oppose our views?
Please let’s not choose
To denigrate.
Let’s celebrate
Divergences. Let’s love despite;
And so ignite
A shared esteem –
A common dream.
