April 1 Man in the Iron Mask
The Man in the Iron Mask

Our D'Artagnan, where can he be?
Today's Paris is starving,
our king cares more for money
than people's futures, carving

a deep divide between the haves
and the more diverse, have nots,
to subject and control our lives
locked behind an iron mask.

Who will lead us out from the restrictive,
cold, hard metal cage that chafes its captive?
                             ~~Judi Van Gorder
