Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

What's changed since Bob Dylan wrote the song which this poem's title plays off of?...What's changed since Ancient Egypt?...

The Times They Aren'T A-Changin'

Soldiers dying,
      Wives crying;
      Politicians lying,
      Wise men 'why-ing.'

      The media's ablaze,
      Sexual harassment crazed;
      In the rest of the world
      Terrorism's unfurled  

      The world careens forward,
      Never turning back;
      Technology's king--
      It's civility we lack!

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 1, 2018 at 8:16 AM Kick ass pen Gershon. Your sword slices and dices. Gershon Wolf March 1, 2018 at 2:04 PM Whoa! You think so?! --THANKS.

Caren Krutsinger February 28, 2018 at 8:43 AM Hear here! I hear you. The truth is in this poem. Gershon Wolf February 28, 2018 at 10:21 AM Caren, you're a brave soul. As Emily Dickinson might have put it: "Shhh, Don't tell. That makes two of us, you know." (See her poem, "I'm Nobody.")...At any rate, the truth wlll out (eventually)...Thank you so, so much for the encouragement! :) Gershon
