SO ENDS APRIL!

So ends April
Marking a month of lunacy and tribute
Ending and beginning life
Defining what is, is not terrorism.

Changing climate foretold by educators and scientists
As the rivers spill over
Earth shudders
Fires break out
Levees give way
People, animals, homes, schools, crops lost
Even as last year' s pansies show their heads above ground.

Through it all
Illinois, Missouri and Mississippi
Working People lining river shores
Remembered in song
Watch as economic progress, health, and education stall
Representatives who prefer to look away
Off set by Voices growing in number
Demanding no more false idols or messages!

So ends April!
