Eclipsed

The sun, drab green The moon too quiet Earth's cities wept Looting and riots Mayors postured, spoke Their message 'woke' The sun raced away Moon's light gone gray

Just one big black cloud at the moment, after all the restrictions people have gone balmy letting off steam, no excuses though, governments need to clamp down hard to send these idiots a lesson. Tom

Yes. But look at the bright side: Voters are reconsidering their support of Sleepy Joe B. Anyway, I'd like to see a new law enacted: Looters who ply their trade the night of an NBA Championship Title Game get shot on sight. How's that for a progressive stance?! LOL. ~ Deputy Sheriff
