Blue Mood
By Kathleen Finn Jordan
Response
The times challenge, flummox, knock your feet in the air
Longing for grounded and earth and joyful yellows while
Blues and greens, debt and failure, nibble at the edges of the mood
Occupy chants linger at the periphery as protest cries for justice and peace
Seep through the blues greening into speckles of hope
Justice in the air as Occupiers are arrested, moved, pepper sprayed and
A thankless society though it supports stands idle on the brink
Of whites and reds swirling, suggesting lighter hues creeping toward the middle
Calling, repeating the chants of the 99 percent and aspirations
For a catapult from the abstract to the concrete, where heroes are once again the good guys
And fraudsters, criminals and stealers of the childrens’ future are tried
In the court of the white ribbons of truth and gnarled brown tree bark of strength and wisdom.
