"oo oo ahh ahh" - Curious George


Shrilling waves coasted upon rugged rocks

Calming enclosed within a fretful thought

A vessel; its meaning without hollow

The people; the flowing flag they wish to follow


Adversaries entitled; lured by their own rumination                                  5

Admired within esteem; glaring at them as an abomination

Escaping entrapment internally in walls called home

Conquered yet still owned; same as in a palindrome


Childrens long cries, looming for guidance

A dire delay left in silence                                                                       10

Forgotten, absent, within a room of worry

To the masses, it’s been kept shunned and blurry


A prayer, issuance, carried by a little jewish boy

Strained, deprived of all sense of joy                                                     

A Question, love and care with civility                                                    15

Asking when they’d meet the liberty


A family, crossing the Atlantic

To escape their lives that are traumatic

Sewn, held together and binding

The hope, a ship of silver lining                                                              20
