“Stories of Memories” A Blitz Poem

Cherished thinking
Cherished stories
Stories of folklore
Stories spoken by grandpa
Grandpa fixing light switches
Grandpa and his blue eyes
Eyes stare straight ahead
Eyes blink quickly
Quickly goes the train
Quickly goes my heart
Heart of gold
Heart of power
Power leaking out
Power triumphs brains
Brains dissected
Brains rejected
Rejected letter
Rejected lover
Lover of music
Lover of hate
Hate to stand up
Hate to fight
Fight for my right
Fight for the future
Future of cars
Future of smog
Smog chokes
Smog devours
Devours my soul
Devours my purpose
Purpose to live
Purpose to teach
Teach my lessons
Teach my values
Values of caring
Values of respect
Respect the elders
Respect the earth
Earth my body
Earth my spirit
Spirit of growth
Spirit of happiness
Happiness conquered
Happiness shared
Shared distributions
Shared memories
Memories take me back
Memories bring me forward
Forward…
Back…
