Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Take a Knee and Burn the Flag

Take a knee
  Hey, we aren't free
Everywhere that we can see 
  There's police brutality

City workers, raise your fists
  And go on strike
Milk more taxpayer dollars
  For all the perks you'd like

C'mon, let's go block traffic
  We'll do it midst rush hour
Show unenlightened folks
  Lawlessness is Power

We can't forget that while we're at it
  We've got to boycott Israel
They give LGBTQ folks there full rights
  But we'd rather see Jews fail

Comrades, stand by to burn the flag
  'Cos of the Democrat's debate
Just one lone suit-and tie ***
  And all those whites we hate

Then pull down your pants and go pee
  On the streets of San Francisco
You'll never know how bad they smell
  The din there's louder than a disco

So take a knee
  It works, you see
Marijuana's legal (Yippee!)

Then stay knee-down
  'Till America's drowned 
By executive orders 
  And open borders

Kim Rodrigues January 18, 2020 at 11:46 AM So sad, right?! How many believe that a Utopian society would look this way. It looks more like “Pottersville” from It’s a Wonderful Life or Back to the future’s dystopian city when Tannen takes over.

Jennifer Proxenos January 18, 2020 at 8:48 AM Hey Gershon this is a wonderful write - glad you spoke out, perhaps some politicians will see and read it, the whole world is at war well almost, then terrorists filter through to any country, slipping past guarded borders, arriving at their destination, only to cause atrocities, violence and disruption. We should all take a stand for what is right! Blessings, Jennifer. Gershon Wolf January 18, 2020 at 7:59 PM Yes, we should take a stand. Thanks for speaking up, Jennifer! We can do it without clenched fists, disruptive strikes, and burning flags, however. Thanks! :) Gershon

Sandra Adams January 17, 2020 at 6:44 PM wow...very powerful poem from your pen Gershon...this world is not the one we grew up in... scary... Gershon Wolf January 18, 2020 at 7:55 PM It's clearly NOT the same world, as you say...then again we're not the same children... Thanks, Sandy. Smiles, Gershon

Ronald D Thompson January 17, 2020 at 3:52 PM Very powerful Gershon and brave I might add. Appreciate the insight; it is fascinating. I admire that you are prepared to tackle worrying issues. Excellent my friend. Keep them coming...Ron :) Gershon Wolf January 18, 2020 at 7:37 PM Thank you so much for the support on this write, Ron. Keep the faith. Somehow, in the end, right and justice will triumph... Best always, Gershon

Heidi Sands January 17, 2020 at 1:51 PM Gershon the disrespectful atrocious acts that I am seeing take place, the lawlessness, the injustice, the hatred and evil spreading is so disturbing. It is a very big concern and heartbreaking too. I will never stop fighting for what is right in whatever way I can. Thank you for your poem :) Gershon Wolf January 17, 2020 at 2:09 PM Thank you, Heidi, for your heartfelt, sincere comment and for your support. Thanks for fighting for what you know to be right. Cheers, Gershon
