The Morning News


The Morning News


Obama said – Republicans don't like it.
Obama did – Republicans oppose.
Obama wrote – Republicans say, “Strike it!”
The God machine. And so the country goes.

The Caveman


Jeered and mocked and ridiculed.
It's not his life to live.
Adopted the philosophy -
It's only good to give.


Sequestered like a troglodyte.
The shadows in a cave.
Cowering like cobwebs.
Not splendid and not brave.


Several people notice.
Several people care.
Unable to accept them,
Though they're standing there.

Blind


A fiction to believe in
When you've tested it untrue.
Psychology has theories
That will change the shape of you,
Procrustean. Beneath the sea
You blindly misconstrue
Major signs that you are loved.
And die a death for two.

Futile Determination


When thinking becomes art
And pictures glut the sense,
In the ocean, rapt and ready,
Plunges present tense.


When shall I be famous?
Shall I ever? Quell the fear
And put me on a shelf
By Keats, Millay, a peer.


Determined to be famous!
A hopeless undertaking.
Poetry and music
Which the modern world is faking.


Is there not an appetite
For beauty once again?
Broadway died in 43.
And every ear is tin.
