Notes About The Poem

2/1/2026 for Isaiah 5:20 Poetry Contest sponsored by Anthony Biaanco

Darkness for Light, and Other Blatherskite

On this verse, Isaiah, not Levitical, 
I can't help being political, 
I hope, without being hypocritical. 
I feel an inundation,
of bogus information,
from the current administration.
To discern malarky, bonafide,
each man or woman must decide - 
their conscience as a guide.

Clever use of the vocabulary there, David.

Thanks, Gershon, or should I say, I'm gratitudinally disposed to your explication!
