Aloha poets,
Green tropics morning inspires today's poetry. Enjoy!
On Ignored Honored
Freedom rings in the face of a bully
Authoritarian capitalism's only a pulley
In feats of its ploy democracy cries out
American president, Liu Xiaobo a shout
Jailers join in the power of alliance
Bailers coin on showers of defiance
Dissidents and presidents know the real
Adhoc roadblocks spin spies with spiel
Get together in the quiet feels real good
Tethered to a riot squeals under the hood
Freedom v tyranny's best offer a no show
Universe hears Xiaobo's freedom oboe
Prison for freedom, the ultimate paradox
Beyond garbage bins a clock tick tocks
Ignored honored stay religious eligible
Oppressors press as if old vegetable
Remarkable embarks on journey's edge
Rot of jail tries to keep hearts on a ledge
A face to face at a dissident's insistence
Human race fear keeps its own distance
Courage thriving's an individual thing
In broad culture lives hide, then sing
Oppressor odyssey holds a jailer's key
America still far, the land of the free
Relatives wait at the surrogate gate
Physical dropbys roped off by hate
Press ahead ceremony for Liu Xiaobo
Oppressor loathes Liu's freedom oboe
