Elate Your Mate

"Forty acres and a mule"
Was a promise, not a rule
Government lies
So you baptise
Just like any other fool

well, we did not even get the mule! (hmm, actually it's close to the donkey, so in a way we got it)

Nov 15· A baby born in the Philippines has been declared the world's eight billionth person as United Nations confirmed that the population passed the landmark figure yesterday. We are the fools.

After I combobulated on this poem for a little while, I became discombobulated. Oh, some did not get their forty acres and a mule. Creative work. Definitely has some humor. Thanks for the visit to my page. I appreciate the time spent there reading and taking time to comment. Sara
