For today’s prompt, write a pop culture poem. I guess I broke out the Bon Jovi a day early, eh? But hey, write a poem about Bon Jovi or Van Halen; write a poem about the Kardashians (or don’t–and say you did); write a poem about a popular SNL skit; write a poem about Dr. Who or Downton Abbey; write a poem about any kind of popular culture thing-a-ma-bob you wish.
POP CULTURE!
A UNIQUE HERITAGE
By John Yeo
Time is like many grains of sand
Each grain is an aeon of a life-span
Our land is old and contains
Our heritage, our past, our forefathers remains.
We befriended and welcomed you here
You shared our land and resources.
We welcomed your views and new ways,
A surrender in peace when you took control.
You thrive and get rich from our land
Our nation has customs, a glorious past.
We worship our Gods, our dreams are real
We have mysterious age-old ways and beliefs.
Please respect our customs, enjoy our ways
Do not claim our art or our heritage
Respect our culture, it is all we have left
To sustain us and pass on, for our children.
