Gershon Wolf Poet Verse

Ponder a Moment

Martin Luther King, Jr.
  a leader, a statesman
a preacher, an inspiration

Robert F. Kennedy
  boyish, vulnerable
beloved, fiercely capable

Ponder a moment, will you? ~
  How great America might be
Had she blended the words
  and the works of these two

Timothy Mcguire July 2, 2020 at 9:32 PM Brings to mind some other great statesmen of that era. Now most, not all, are just politicians. Gershon Wolf July 2, 2020 at 11:23 PM --- If they're even politicians. Witness Donald Trump, Hilary Clinton, and some others who've ogled the Presidency...

Caren Krutsinger July 2, 2020 at 2:32 AM Yes, but what happened to both of them? what sad endings for such FABULOUS men who could have uplifted the world. And John Lennon too. Craziness started early! Gershon Wolf July 2, 2020 at 7:16 PM Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! You're lumping John Lennon in with MLK and RFK?! Have you been tested for COVID-19 lately?! lol. :) gw

Ilene Bauer July 1, 2020 at 10:22 AM pondering that possibility just makes me feel worse - look at how far we've fallen! excellent poem, gershon... Gershon Wolf July 1, 2020 at 3:52 PM So true. Is there a level below the basement? -- That's where we find ourselves, leadership-wise! And not just in the USA! Oh, well... Time for the Messiah to come! :) gw
