Every passing year
Drives in deeper the wedges
Increasing the strain
On civil interaction.
How much longer can
This great tree of liberty
Remain unsundered standing?
division
Relativity
A bad day at sea
Is, oh so much, better than
Good days in D.C.

Rushing to the Beckon Call
Political talk
Hate concealed in persiflage
Osmotic poison
Dancing to the Pipers’ Tune
The Pipers grin, and fan this Flag debate,
incite this nation to gyrate.
Now some of us think, “Ain’t this great!”,
as we leap right into that quagmire,
dance St. John’s dance and hallucinate
as if inflamed by St. Anthony’s fire.
Those evil minstrels must think us fools,
gullible, unthinking tools.
They build a madcap set of rules
And watch the herd beasts prance.
If we give in to these evil ghouls,
we all will swing in St. Vitus’ dance.
You can love your flag or scream and shout,
but I think I’ll sit this dance out.
Divisive Symbols
Surely we can figure how
To release this sacred cow!
Call it heritage or call it hate,
free it now.
It’s not too late!
