Dark River
On a far river bank I see
knee high boots crushing skulls.
On the other far side I see
strange perversions lurking, waiting
for the times to change again,
and on a dark river I go
dead center adrift, bewildered I row
but somehow know
the worst is still yet to come.
sadly, I think you may be right.
ReplyDeleteA timely example is that rodeo clown wearing the Obama mask. They banned him but they didn't ban the narrator egging the crowd on or those who applauded.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that.
ReplyDeleteHope you re-post the other one on corporate greed, etc...
ReplyDeleteRecently I've had a lot of 2nd thoughts about the things I post especially if they sound more like opinions than poems.
ReplyDeleteThen again, I might just be spooked by the whole surveillance thing going on.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know what you mean - I'm on social media & share a lot of disconcerting stuff & yes, makes me wonder who's "looking" ...and B. Man'g sentenced to 35 years - it definitely is scary. And they are still arresting gr'pas & gr'mas in Wisconsin and other state houses.
ReplyDeleteanyway, thanks again for what you do...may not be what you had in mind...sorry if I may have complicated things...
Deleteit's a bummer of a summer - in more ways than one...hang on.
