Scott- this is good communication and I hope you publish it wider than just here. This was a delight. Dr. Suess would approve and be glad that you point out truth while making us feel good to know it when the truth is sometimes ugly.

Interesting how freedom of expression is aided by the seeming limitation of rhyme and ryrhym. Thought has to get clear and the part that entertains us with the beat brings the truth forth so effectively. Willingness on your part to be the conveyer was divine.

Moral courage a better king than those doused in gold as expressed here in this poem.

Loved the expression of your inner and outer Lorax too. I love the Lorax so much and wish everyone to imbibe that spirit of innate sense of justice and injustice. The Lorax lawyer speaks is the working title of the book I am writing.

It clarifies to rhyme like dr suess and I am often doing it in head- oh the places we will go.

So glad for your mentorship as I was for Dr suess from a young age. Character made of actually caring, having integrity and imparting joy - wanting to do good, be good, and experience goodness- that is the foundation of trustworthiness as your writing shows us. Trustful is the other side and so we can pray knowing goodness and justice will prevail. The speed may depend on us so we aid awareness and guide others as you have so entertainingly done, Scott Monty.
