Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Abandoned and Forgotten

Furious females take to the streets, shouting
   Staid matrons join them, newly doubting

Angry young males overturn cars, defiant
   Older men surrender their values, and riot

Lawyerly senators attack each other, at virtual war
   As the issues that really matter, go uncared for

Civility is abandoned, all but forgotten
   A nation's lifeblood tainted, utterly rotten

M. L. Kiser October 16, 2018 at 2:20 PM You've penned a lot of truths here; it's a disgrace what is happening to America; I hate my country looking so violent but, sometimes, I think D.C. provokes it just to see how people will react. Anyway, well done. Gershon Wolf October 16, 2018 at 9:42 PM Yes indeed. There are provocateurs aplenty! ~ gw
