Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

I Think You Know What I Mean

              There is no justice
                 Of course there isn’t
               Why would anyone think there is

               No person is truly color-blind
                  How could anyone be
                Even Stevie Wonder isn’t – and he’s blind

                There is no such thing as the perfect spouse
                   The very notion is ludicrous
                 Only a fool would think there is (or pretend to be one)

                  Is there anyone alive who’s never gotten angry
                     Is there anyone who’s never made a mistake

                  Is there anyone who is totally selfless
                     If there is, then he’s a big pain-in-the-ache

Joseph P. DiMino August 6, 2026 at 8:34 PM I agree, that's why I do not judge. Myself nor others -- I think you know what I've seen. A lot. Gershon Wolf August 6, 2026 at 9:16 PM I imagine so... As for me, today all I see is an 'empty lot,' if that makes any sense. ~ gw
