April 20, challenge to use the rhythm of a known song to write a knew poem, in this case, "Do You Hear the People Sing?" from Les Miz
Shame
In the deep and troubled shame
of a deeply troubled time
I can see only in the moment
broken paths that lead to flames
As the broken mirror falls
into these shards of icy glass,
reflecting eyes that seem to laugh,
then the beast will crawl.
Is there nothing left to save?
Could there be light that's left behind?
Within the fright'ning night
is there a soul that can be brave?
If so, then cry out
and so lead us all from our grave!
