Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

America's Number One Problem

I have researched the issue extensively
  and concluded most indubitably
The #1 problem we must confront immediately
  is that the NBA is Tibetan-Nepalese free                          

I realize that this kind of news may just shock
  both NBA fanatics and weekend warrior jocks
As there have been social media rumors of a plan
  to load up rosters with ex-soldiers from Afghanistan

Well, I for one, will not let myself get distracted
  The data's in, my words will not be retracted
At this very moment, President Biden's selecting a 5-star commission
  to highlight the egregious wrong of Tibetan-Nepalese inadmission

Our nation has the talent, the drive and the will
  to effect change to rock the world from Singapore to Brazil
For the NBA's bias against Tibetan-Nepalese is a vile disease
  infecting every team owner privileged to speak Americanese

So, let us look forward to that great day
  when NBA game-time rosters will look this way
Fifteen Tibetans versus fifteen from Nepal
  ~ as long as they sing our National Anthem before they 'play ball!'



                 ~ Not for Contest ~

Kenneth Cheney April 26, 2021 at 7:57 AM This poem actually says so much. I'm laughing, only so I don't cry. This irreverent write clearly illustrates the ridiculous ideas that pervade our society these days.

Connie Marcum Wong April 23, 2021 at 12:44 AM It is so very sad what has happened to Tibet. I always wanted to go and visit and now I probably may never get to. I hope one day they may be able to revive their happiness and that the Dalai Lama may be able to return. I keep them in my prayers and I donate when I can. I enjoyed your creative poem Gershon.
