Example Poem:
Hope for the Winners (Trinidad Sonnet)
The race is being run without a doubt.
The rules are changing yet corruption rules.
In every project gov'mint talks about.
Yet private enterprise and science still
will surge ahead with heat that seldom cools,
increasing benefits that awe and thrill.
The gifts we'll see ahead will be profound.
Will joys and health alone prevent a rage
against the plutocratic greed that's found?
A radical religion may bring hell
to Earth. A clash, if hatred comes of age
could cost a billion lives before we're well.
The race is being run without a doubt.
The gifts we'll see ahead will be profound.
