Joe Maverick Poet Rhyme

Shall we see

Time i see it not.' Yet its journey has yet not stopped' if two hundred years were
The span of your days.? You would read
Better, the woes of each age' failing this
Hit the history trail, if more did could have
Less seething, or tantying, or railing  rage.? Look at 1853; 56.' You might get to learn of dark tricks, 1910 a time of Spanish flu, 1914 and a war just grew?  Forty one years untill the second go.' To clear out
fachists is the way it did go.' 1965 we got
Into nam..' right after the Korean one if you were two hundeed now you would have lived through everyone..Maybe you can see a pattern now, old europe can be a greedy sow, many world leaders, on puppet strings, its not just a theroy, things
Turn to similar in our timeframe again, convid has been and gone' old europe eyes Crimea again..For you see a  stratagist, once said who rules there, holds the world, in a pillory, Fred or Clcharlie or wally? Or who.? Can't you see
On which foot is the shoe.' I sugjest you find out really fast, or your jacksie, might
Get one up it way too hard' and, too fast.'

Alison A Smith September 29, 2026 at 11:29 PM A fierce, free-flowing historical meditation, this poem uses its rough-edged, spoken urgency to make time feel immediate rather than distant. The succession of dates, wars, pandemics and political echoes creates a cumulative, warning-bell rhythm, while the colloquial phrasing gives the voice a vivid, confrontational character. Its central idea—that understanding history may temper outrage and reveal recurring patterns—comes through with conviction and memorable energy.🕊️
