The Great Spin

This is the crazy, 

hateful, greed driven world 

our grandfathers gave us 

and they too 

delivered great speeches 

expressing concern 

for their children’s children

and the spin goes on. 

Rivers continue to flow. 

Tides rise and fall.

Seasons subtly change 

as if to say 

it’s suppose to be this way 

over and over again.
