Notes About The Poem

 

Joe Biden mentioned, he would take Donald Trump outside the back of a gym and well give him a whipping. Now although I can’t condone this I do get the statement is not literal, and also taken in context. Both Obama and Joe have always taken the highest road, still kinda like Joe on this one!

Biden My Time

In a bubble
Of social interactions
Biden my time
Behind the gym
Until the trumpets  pout and fluff
Punching I lay them all on the floor

Sadly life is down to the seconds
No time for self reflections
We jump on the slightest of offenses
holding our heads high on those pretenses
Our rights always trump our duties
Old hens chatter, yes a total disaster

A new world is born
Where insults are golden
And reality is scorned
Yet many prefer to promote interactions
Where seriously, is quite the foulest of transactions
Society now rewards those with the loudest actions

I can't help but think of the old westerns that say - he speaks with a forked tongue. Laughing before I cry.

A well-done but unfortunate portrayal of new society standards. An enjoyable read, Arthur.
