I liked this one, one of your simplest and best. The meaning shines through.

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.

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.
