Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Bottom Line - Popularity

Bottom line's about popularity
  Achieved through division, polarity
    No chants of 'Learn, baby, learn'
    No yells for 'Earn, baby, earn'
  The sixties shouted 'Burn, baby, burn'  

  Fast forward to today, nothing has changed
  Just the issues and actors rearranged
    Screams for 'reproductive rights'
    'Defund the police' dogfights
  Aging boomers for Gen Z-ers exchanged

Harry Horsman November 14, 2022 at 8:30 PM They want to destroy our history, Gershon. love this and agree...Harry Gershon Wolf November 15, 2022 at 6:34 PM You pinpointed the main issue, Harry. These people are destructive. They point fingers and tear down. They never build up. They are takers, not givers. Thanks, gw
