Notes About The Poem

Skewed Political Common Sense

 

Today’s weird zeitgeist,

Lived streamed everyday,

Awaits its Emmy:

Historically scripting,

Well played, power mongering:-

 

This may sound musky,

Or like a well-trumped-up scheme;

But it is all true:

Click on Breaking News, and see

These bold words’ reality:-

 

They’re shutting down

The Department Of Education;

And the learned lesson here,

Is the poor’s lost emancipation:

For the rich, it’s a positive situation:-
