The poem I have written about is
THE UNIVERSE WINKS by Gershon Wolf

Statues rise and fall
  Empires stutter and stall 
Genius streaks 'cross the sky
  Leaves in its wake more 'Whys?' 

Mountains slowly erode
  Earth cracks, they implode 
The seas advance then recede
  A hiss of steam from icebergs freed

The sun grows old, begins to expand
  Turns devil-red, scorches the land
A mighty blast proclaims its twilight
  The universe winks ~ goodnight


PRAISE FOR A POET

A tough Chicago guy,
We don’t always see eye to eye ~~
I am a Christian, he is Jewish (Chasidic)
He’s a hawk, I’m a dove.
He’s a conservative, I’m a liberal.
But I really admire Gershon, he’s my friend,
And I would stand up for him any day.

Gershon tends to see the darker picture.
He sees the glass half empty; I see the glass half full.
In his “The Universe Winks,” for example.
Everything is on a negative, downhill slide,
The earth is eroding, cracking, imploding,
The sun is an enemy—scorching the land.

He would have the U.S. institute a No-Fly Zone
Over Ukraine, as another example,
While I believe doing so would greatly increase
The inevitability of confrontation with Russia.
I do not want to see the U.S. and Russia at war
With each other.
It would be the worst possible scenario.

Although we have differences of opinion
I have great admiration for Gershon Wolf.
He is as fine a gentleman as I have ever met,
And he is a staunch advocate for his beliefs.
I do not always agree with him, but I will fight
For his right to express his beliefs and opinions.

If everyone would take this attitude
Toward those people with whom they sometimes disagree,
The need for fisticuffs and/or verbal assault would be
Negligible, indeed!
