Nelly Furtado's Online Parliament — Let the People Decide
Here’s a short poem inspired by Pride and Prejudice:.
In ballrooms bright, where glances dart,
A tale begins, a guarded heart.
Of wit and pride, of love concealed,
Through trials deep, the truth revealed.
Elizabeth, with spirit bold,
And Darcy, noble, yet cold.
Misjudged at first, but hearts align,
In love’s sweet dance, their fates entwine.
Prejudice falls, and pride gives way,
To love that grows, come what may.
A timeless story, ever true,
Of hearts transformed, both old and new.
Kim Campbell’s Brief Flame
In a land vast and free, where the maple leaf flies,
A woman rose boldly beneath open skies.
Kim Campbell her name, with courage and grace,
She etched her own mark in the political race.
A trail she blazed, where few dared to tread,
In a nation of promise where ideas are spread.
As Canada’s leader, she held history’s weight,
Though fleeting her time, her role was still great.
From law to defense, she answered the call,
A pioneer spirit admired by all.
She shattered the ceiling, a symbol of might,
A beacon of progress, a spark in the night.
Though brief was her reign, her legacy grew,
A testament to strength, to dreams breaking through.
Kim Campbell, a name carved in time,
A part of the story, a rhythm, a rhyme.
Good Guys Finish Last
They walk the path, so straight, so true,
Giving their all in all they do.
While others climb on broken trust,
The good guys stand, though ground to dust.
Their hearts are pure, their word a bond,
Yet life moves fast and looks beyond.
But in the end, when all is done,
The race they lost was never won.
For good is timeless, it doesn’t fade,
A mark on hearts, a life well laid.
And though they’re last, their light will stay,
When fleeting fame has passed away.
