PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

March 24 was the day

In the bright morning sun

Yes before noon 2014

The ancient city of Amsterdam lighted up 

Museumstraat 1 was the place 

Rijksmuseum to be precise 

The journey from the American white house began

Championed by its first black president 

Engineered by the Dutch primeminister/historian 

This display of executive paraphanelia 

The rewards of elective office

First the landing of Airforce 1 in Schipol

Then the landing of Marine jet 1

Escorted by not less than five army coloured jets 

Behold the convoy of the Beast and other cars of class 

The chart with young scholars 

In front of "THE NIGHT WATCH" Rembrandts signature classic

The golden work of a master, they posed

Mark, Barack and the curator 

With eyes full of admiration for this ancient work of arts

waking up Rembrandt from the grave 

Whose spirit hovered and gazed with agitating delight 

This interplay of politics power and people 

Eberhard Van Der Laan restoring the economy of a city beloved

The mayor with the Eyes of the Eagle 

Awaiting the flow of wealth 

For Tourists must come to see 

The Rising of Rembrandt.
