If Mothers Made Sanctions
18" x 24"
acrylic / canvas
And if by chance mischievous fate
yet sometimes just
succumbed to irony's bidding
could tweak the nose of power
and wrestle clout from happenstance rule...
if sensible day dawned on a not yet time
when mothers made sanctions
. . . well wouldn't that be sweet.
If mothers made sanctions
might they withhold milk from babies mouth
and pencils from small classroom hand,
or ointment from the old man's foot.
Would she care not enough for growing life
to let the water rot.
Might the joy of a village far away
and unbeknown to us... return
if mothers made sanctions?
