Michael Sams Poet Free verse

Inane Traditions

tradition has ended,poop has won
why do as we have always done?
new generations,new polemics
old ways pass without reflection

why do as we have always done?
we celebrate the inane as tradition,my parents would weep
old ways pass without reflection 
the end is near,the end is near

we celebrate the inane as tradition,my parents would weep
baseball as america's game has gone awry
millionaires play without intensity 

politicians no longer serve the greater good
they play to focus groups,and become millionaires 
who cares about the middle
the low and the high are all that matters 
the middle will not hold

personal responsibility has gone awry 
the birth place of free speech has gone awry 
shouting and insults is the new debate 
the end is near,the end is near
