Dear Humans
This is For The Vocal Epistolary Challenge
This is For The Vocal Epistolary Challenge which you can read about below.
As this is based on how we treat the earth, I think "Beds Are Burning" by Midnight Oil is an appropriate accompaniment. We need more Peter Garretts.
The prompt is:
Write a poem in letter form. Begin with a greeting (e.g. Dear X,) and end with a closing signature (e.g. Sincerely, X).

We Can Swing Together
Introduction I was listening to Lindisfarne's first five albums and there are so many songs on there that I could use to inspire poetry, then "We Can Swing Together" came on, and it's about a party being broken up by the police and the partygoers ending up in jail before the beak, but it is all very light-hearted and fun and I thought that title reminds me of the Vocal Social Society #BetterTogether hashtag, and it is so much better when we work together rather than fight. So here we go.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Menβs room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reillyβs Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckeeβs Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
