Come And See

Come and see a Nation change

Come and see a spirit rise

Come and see a captive free

Come and see truth over lies

Come and see a hope reborn

Come and see as we engage

Come and see all this and more

Come and see words on a page

 

Come and see a burning desire

Come and see a passionate flame

Come and see a culture change

Come and see things aren't the same

Come and see the safest street

Come and see an end to rage

Come and see all this and more

Come and see words on a page

 

Come and see a new day dawning

Come and see the guns laid down

Come and see working together

Come and see in every town

Come and see the restoration

Come and see at this early stage

Come and see all this and more

Come and see words on a page 

 

Come and see racism ended

Come and see black stand with white 

Come and see history made 

Come and see the end to the fight

Come and see tomorrows children 

Come and see in this dawning age

Come and see all this and more

Come and see words on page

 

Come and see the prodigals returning 

Come and see a shinning light

Come and see there is a way home 

Come and see an amazing sight

Come and see the future's written

Come and see the world's a stage 

Come and see all this and more

 Come and see words on a page

 

Come and see young hearts beating

Come and see the darkness turn

Come and see mistakes forgiven 

Come and see and most of all learn

Come and see the mantle thrown down

Come and see poet and sage

Come and see the world is watching

Come and see words on a page

  

Reviews

[Kayleen]

this is really good, but maybe you want to put a little variation in it instead of all of it starting with come and see?

[Snuggles McClintock]

this reads more a list than a poem.
In order to personify and give these mandates a strong resolve that tugs at your guts, I would pick three or four of them and add in some imagery or correlation.
