Timeless
Days Pass
and things change
First
the Gutenberg Press
now Ebooks and the internet.
is the first company in
Three hundred years
to literally start a national revolution
and this was the first one in history
that happened without anyone getting Killed!
People who are old can remember a time
When Facebook didn’t exist.
It used to take a generation to effect such change
Now only seconds
Man, do I feel old!
The old man and his tea.
The old man
sits in a corner by the fire
he sips slowly
for the tea is steaming hot.
Cup to hair covered lip
and down again
always starring into the flames.
Behind him
his grandchildren chase each other around the table
full of youthful excitement.
Suddenly, they stop and stare at the old man with his tea,
They wonder what the old man is thinking.
The old man
continues to sip his tea
he’s earned his spot by the fire
The old man smiles as he finishes the tea and slowly stands up from his chair
Tickles his grandchildren’s hair and goes and kisses his wife goodnight.
One more pleasant memory to add to a long life.
I hope I’ll get there too.

Here we go!
It’s that time again.
Have we made America Great again yet?
There is a virus infecting the world now
The economy has changed
The “Leader” of the free world
claims that the doctors are more popular
but he has a race to run.
On the other side
Sits the old man
who likes to put his foot in his mouth
and argues he has the moral high ground.
Look out!
From out of the south here comes the West!
A mad poet with delusions of grandeur.
The old man wants to show he cares so he’s trying
to make sure the other two are
out womaned.
Ugh!
Can I mail it in?
Enough already!
Stop
Telling me, you are going to “open the economy!”
People have been working from home and providing
“Essential services” all along. There was a lock down not a shut down!
Stop
Telling me about the “unemployment rate!”
One in four unemployed means that three out of four are working!
The top 1% is not worried!
The bottom 1% do not care
In addition, those of us in the 98% in the middle are just plain tired of the lip service!
Stop
Telling me, we are “one nation”!
Black America?
White America?
Red America?
Yellow America?
Latino America?
Jewish America?
With Blue America
Stop telling me never again!
Wow!
