Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

The Swamp

Academic eyes  
Bullying lies 
Feelings held hostage 
Locked unopposed 
Academic eyes 
Mandatory ‘I’’s 
Mirrored reflection 
The Emperor’s clothes 
Academic eyes 
Robert Bly cries 
The pond has been drained 
Replaced with a swamp 
Academic eyes 
Truth rendered blind 
The facts mired out 
   —fantasy romps 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2014)
