Kids Poems

Fill the air with delight,
As little feet run freely,
Chasing after dreams.

As always,
Eating blood and gold,
Letting kids die.
Kids will die in the swamps of Mississippi
Organizing sharecroppers

Gotta put some effort
Gotta work hard
Don’t listen to other
Follow you’re heart

A Nursery Rhyme For Advent
by Joseph Ogbonna
Joyous angels an entire night spent,
singing with flutes they ceased to relent.
Shepherds lowly pitch their dusty tent.
A story indeed reminiscent
of ageless advents when we all went
to sing in churches in wintry Kent.
In fright we gazed at Santa's beard length,
in a speed sleigh drawn by the Elks' strength.
We sought more fun for an extra cent.
But after pleasure we did repent,
