Harry Horsman Poet Free verse

1980s the Start Of

In this day of corporate illusion
One only the historic can counter,
Soon one day the culture of delusion
Will reign as all those whom encounter,
When all passed away in resolution
The problem written into the annals,
While those that are left fed on pollution
The results of educated finals.
One's cultural genocide of blindness
Simplicity with common sense destroyed,
Yet the poet’s truth through untangled kindness
Will live on in the heart of those deployed.
Never in the history of mankind
An era delivered been so refined.

Elizabeth Wesley April 11, 2013 at 4:17 PM I think some of us see through the culture of delusion Harry and yes, sadly the illusion will soon become reality. I too think there is genocide of the races if we don't quit this multi cultural thing. Each has so much to give, why do we all have to end up in one pot. You did a beautiful job on such a sensitive issue, as I see it anyway. Love, Elizabeth
