Oxycodone Acetaminophen Revelations... a poem by Anne Selden Annab

Oxycodone Acetaminophen Revelations

The feel good pill
solved things- made images
in my dreams of graphs pertaining
to Palestine and to media work here...
clicked through them in my mind
approved a few, ignored many others
topic by topic
honing

liberating my own mind
from flawed arguments
and self defeating emphasis
liberating my heart too
to be honest
and true
to me
& you
& Palestine...

and the way things are really done
here in America- things known
to insiders educated at an early age to respect
a proud heritage and the worthy goals
of good men and loyal women working
one by one
to grow old
happily ever after... together...
generation after generation
renewing values
and vows

Dear Palestine
hold fast to your dream
of becoming more real
in more ways

Hold fast to your dream
of becoming a sovereign nation
known and loved

Hold fast to your dream, your goal
of peace... a just and lasting peace
A Golden Rule Peace
built child by child
raised to honor
a proud heritage
and the worthy goals
of loyal men and loving women working
to grow old
happily ever after... and free

to look for and cherish the best:
It is... and will be always
an ongoing
project
Dear Palestine-
sincerely
yours.
