Curtis Johnson Poet Political Verse

A Place Called Local

Once upon a time,
At least 3 scores ago,                                                                                                                                                      
like now, there was a thing
called politics. Back then, and

even until now, it is said that all
politics is 'local'.  Once upon a time,
when I was just a boy, perhaps it was local.
But I am a man now, and I tell you sincerely,

I beg to differ. Politics is far and beyond local.
Call it Geo-politics, Globalism, or One World Government.
I tell you, Real Estate may still be: location, location, location;
but beware and be wish when you hear that all politics is local.
