Poem Artwork


Cockadoodle Cruz got on the news
The Boner got into the booze again
Having the blues and ready to cry
While all of the rest of us wonder why
Money and power conspire to confuse

If these are the best of us today
Let me be the first of the worst to say
We could do better had better do
Something about the fetter of this coup
And its peculiar heartlessness

Though given enough rope somehow suppose
They are hanging themselves now and heaven knows
There never was a there there anyway
For the heart is not a part of it I guess
Nor find the mind or soul in Cruz control

Though reactionaries can be very slow
Evolution continues even so
In the revolution of the open mind
The open heart unafraid to be kind
In you and me we who just want to be free
