| "Brave One" Watercolor on Paper By J. Artemus Gordon |
Steven Wittenberg Gordon
How often have we heard with scorn about the one percent--
The elite effete and indiscreet upper echelons of men?
And how oppressed and so distressed the other ninety-nine?
O! How they scream and how protest and how they howl and whine!
Without a thought for freedom fought and won time and again
By a strong and silent one percent who volunteered and did consent
To protect us and our way of life. To them I say, “Amen!”
This is a fantastic poem with an important message. I am impressed with the flow carried by the end and internal rhymes. Amen to the one percent who keep up safe.
