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

My friend, great poetry, clear message and yes the power grab is becoming more than just a minor nuisance. Sanity and law must be restored.. A fav..

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
