Arthur Vaso Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

The American Dream

The beauty of the dream
Even fools are allowed in
Misinformed and crawling on narrow stony roads
Yet in this land anything goes
We all have the right to our opinions and views
Apparently even old fools
One day soon
Guns will be taken
So that freedoms truly rule
As the clowns dance
One day
Poets shall rule

Remember this! Obama was no fool!

Kai Michael Neumann February 10, 2018 at 2:15 AM Great. Some countries had playwrights for their leader. Philosophers were kings. Retroactive analysis and 'free verse' is not just nostalgia. Let's do a dance with the circle...

Carole Duet February 6, 2018 at 3:41 PM Guns will not be taken, Arthur, but I hope they will be regulated in a better way so that when poets have their say they will be safe in every way.

Arturo Michael February 6, 2018 at 7:31 AM He certainly wasn't... In its skies, Eagles will again fly... and poetry around fires will be sung...Nice poem Arthur...
