A political resurgence now felt - a poem. |
Portentous loops can be seen On that timeless, reconnoitered renaissance - A skipping needle refusing to play A 33 or 45… A slip-slide-y cloud, with no peaks - And a scaled-down version of that meticulous And specialized plan… Streamers and silver tassels May extend the verity; The maximum ridge of focused clarity… The generational gaps in this era Processed by our citizenry… Happiness sets a wreath On every street lamp And denizen’s doorway… Our president claims that There’s a threat of nuclear war, And that the opposition is willing to negotiate, To instill peace in the region… Lowering energy and heating costs In mid-flight… Then we venture ultimatums Toward unbalanced, radical producers Of oil and gas who hold us to a mirror… And assert that nations are destroying Our planet with carbon and methane irritants, And not seeing how serious We could be… And our visible enemy’s invasion Of that rich island nation Which produces the majority Of our semiconductors Remains unsolved… The global realm of conceivable truths pertains; Peachy, golden sun rays extricate the gloom - And humanity shall now lean on the key concerns Of the modern day… |
