The Ticking Clock

Clock, staring at me from the wall Reminding me of Adam and Eve's Fall. Thus, on this fear filled earth, I walk. I have no more time for godless, tawdry and cheap talk. Nor shall I ever play Hitler's game. That killing one, a deadly cocktail of fear and shame. Each person was free to follow his will. Never forced by government's lying swill. If your government flies terrorists to your shore, Beware, you might find one standing at your own front door. The laws of America in a basket thrown, And only Sharia law will you soon own. At Dunkirk, all joined to fight the enemy. Today, you gave away all your rights to be unfree?? You would not dare write a poem like this. A few here that would, I send you my prayers and a kiss. On the planet, you hide behind bushes. Or in water like Moses, in tall bulrushes. People here, oh, how they drool over dogs, What do you think the Taliban will do with stolen military dogs, Is your brain in a cous- cous fog? Dancing in denial, you buy "few were left behind?" Thousands will get heads chopped off, but you have a beer,and play denial in your mind! 9/2/2021 2
