Jumping oblique

Left is as little as right is as much when ability to see is as blind man to touch

For the daft run in circles as smart jump oblique and obsequious wander as clever must seek,

Why a truckers rage mows the worshippers down in a white synagogue in the quiet part of town

And Iranian guns in a mad Houti’s hand guarantees the Saudi’s bomb Yemen’s dry sand.

Why, oh why do whites fear the black? Must the caravan die as Trump turns it back?

Is insanity born or acquired on the way and is there an Ap that reverses the play?

Why in this life is the way of the world as manic, confused as contortion, unfurled?

Left is as little as right is as much when ability to see is as blind man to touch

For daft run in circles as smart jump oblique and obsequious snore as the rest of us weep.
