Poems
Nov 2016
for America
two are the shadows cast
of the future
back in our time
it is of us that we will be
us as in the world
both shades of a dark darkness
how did it come to this?
oh if we did but
contemplate
on us that we will be,
as we wont to do,
as we seldom do
are these all that were on offer?
how if we are not of this darkness
for how else would be know of
dark from light?
privilege and sacrilege of the gentler kind
sets the world on a tinderbox the other
why did it come to this?
now, a wring and a toss
with hand on our hearts
for we cannot choose,
a game of dice,
is what separates
of us that we will be
us as in the world
to all American friends...the greatest nation on earth right now, but have you not failed us...
