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

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.
