[stylist] Poem: Baltimore

Bill,

Very fitting and sobering. Many groups are enraged by inequality, blind
people certainly having no unique hold on this issue. For all of America's
ideals and so-called founding cornerstones, inequality is an issue as old as
the world itself. A thought-provoking poem. In particular, I like the last
few lines.

Subject: [stylist] Poem: Baltimore

Hello.  

I haven't submitted anything for a while but I cam up with something after
thinking about the recent events of Baltimore and the context of our whole
nation, which includes us.  

The poem follows my signature.  

Bill Outman 

Baltimore 

O please can we have some more 

Of hope starting in old Baltimore.  

For some people we must confess 

'Tis been too long Baltiless.  

I have it clearly in mind 

Equality, opportunity, security not just for the blind.  

"Twould be an awful shame 

If things just went back to Baltisame.  

O say can you see 

By us all working to heal the scars, 

All will be truly free 

And we'll have earned our American stripes and stars.
