THE MIGRATION <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

09-30-2020<\/p>\n

With a loud and mighty roar,
\nThus a great migration began,
\nHoping to find real freedom,
\nThey all sought a better land.<\/p>\n

Oppressed by the Blue Tyrant,
\nAlas, those slaves had enough,
\nSo toward the land of Red King,
\nTho at first it would be rough.<\/p>\n

Angered by this new challenger,
\nBlue Tyrant chose to go to war,
\nHe quickly called up his allies,
\nHe’d knock down Red King’s door.<\/p>\n

Oh how fierce were the battles,
\nRed King’s walls did so shake,
\nBut tho hard Blue Tyrant tried,
\nRed King he could not overtake.<\/p>\n

All the people were so relieved,
\nThat the Red King had prevailed,
\nThey even established a holiday,
\nTo remember the day they rebelled.<\/p>\n

As for that jealous Blue Tyrant,
\nHis dark kingdom just faded away,
\nIt was because of his oppression,
\nThat so many chose not to stay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
