Y Leap


Just a poet armed with the alphabet's Y
A lid flap unconditionally above my eye 
To smile and nod while my people die
I could never be a leader and tell a lie 
The type to sweat in a suit and red tie
Just a lonely dreamer 'cause I am shy
A mahatma who dares to ask Syria why
One day, I still believe, I could leap and fly
Write a masterpiece printed golden in the sky
For nations to embrace pacifism with "Hi!"
A motivational piece waving pangs good bye
Races living in a world to share ideas and rye

-- Louis Mercier
