Don't Sit and Wait

by mfarnold January 2026

Watching the news,

Shows about the few

who wield and spew,

while the masses

hurt and chew.

No more!

If communities

don't organise

they will be marginalized,

as before

and always,

when waiting to be

considered.

The time has come

to ensure what must be done.

Own learning is fun

It counters bloated

political run,

designed to stun

people's creative,

sustainable, self-managing

incentive,

to protect and architect 

their own prospect.

Mutual trust -

broken by educational,

competitive thrust,

preventing sincere

organisational leverage 

for social anchorage.

Does this poem encourage,

To be more in an advantage,

than in constant abusage?
