Morning Meditation

Here at the coffee shop I discuss capitalism vs. socialism with the young barista I don't want to get shot for writing a poem So I do not intend to emigrate to North Korea anytime soon Have not travelled much as I would like to But I have been to Israel where they just had a bruising election which the USA will have soon Poetry is much nicer than politics - for the most aprt Old Abe Lincoln wrote verse as did Eugene Mc Carthy Maybe we of the "soup" should form a politcal party our platform will be more readings for all Peace. power and love shoudl be our slogan!!
