Poems
Jan 2021
Tombstones Are For The Living
There's an uprising in the streets
Everywhere you can hear the pounding of the peoples feet
You can hear their voices as the crowds cry
They pick a target but the old guard will fight not to die
I know enough to know I don't know much
Tell me you know because you know such and such
I wasn't born a Jew but they call me Irving
I sit back on my heels while I make a living
A pock-marked moon in a late-night sky
Listen to the news trying to avoid a lie
Unless I have an accident I will choose the year I die
2020 was quite an incident let's let the new year fly
