A Week of Back and Forth in 2025
On Monday they cancelled health watch outright
Yet the seagulls feasted on our seaside leftovers
On Tuesday they just closed libraries everywhere
Yet dogs read our minds and fetched all day long
On Wednesday they scared many seniors to death
Yet our red-tailed hawks soared as ever they had
On Thursday they insulted veterans of all services
Yet army ants had a veritable field day next door
On Friday they conducted another historic massacre
Yet the palm-tree parrots managed to preach loudly
On Saturday they golfed and laughed at everyone else
While every zoo animal nationwide howled in protest
On Sunday they desecrated all notions of real worship
While winged angels did hover to warn of retribution
Her Evening
She had a premonition
So she quickly jotted down responses
to the probing questions that were on their way to her
Then she culled them and separated the chaff
and just for a laugh she revealed three:
ruling class values are good, for them;
billboard mentality may be taking over;
that goal of equality may have to wait.
New Angles
I don't want to wake up at dawn nor to get up early,
not even during the duration of the whole morning.
Thus, noon will be the designated time to commence.
Breakfast time has passed, so first up it will be lunch.
Then I can begin to confront the troubles facing me,
first of which is the overwhelming hypocrisy of the
ruling class that claims to be in favor of democracy,
when the opposite is so clearly the actual real case.
