The good man. <br />He is still enhancer, renouncer. <br />In the time of detachment, <br />in the time of the vivid heather and affectionate evil, <br />in the time of oral <br />grave grave legalities of hate - all real <br />walks our prime registered reproach and seal. <br />Our successful moral. <br />The good man. <br /> <br />Watches our bogus roses, our rank wreath, our <br />love's unreliable cement, the gray <br />jubilees of our demondom. <br />Coherent <br />Counsel! Good man. <br />Require of us our terribly excluded blue. <br />Constrain, repair a ripped, revolted land. <br />Put hand in hand land over. <br />Reprove <br />the abler droughts and manias of the day <br />and a felicity entreat. <br />Love. <br />Complete <br />your pledges, reinforce your aides, renew <br />stance, testament.<br /><br />Gwendolyn Brooks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-good-man/
