Jack Clark Poet Rhyme

There Was a Crooked Man

There is a crooked man 
Who has a crooked mind
Which renders his decisions
Malignant and maligned:

The Paris Peace Accord
The Pandemic Office crowd
Both among the things
This man has disallowed.

Bodies in the morgues
Were cordwood stacking high
The count of them increased
And still, he did deny:

Vaccines and materials
Could cause the plague’s defeat
But his plan was to delay
Which made his plan replete

Those who once supported him
And gave an accolade
Are finding now within their grief
They all have been betrayed

The Bell of our Democracy
Which at one time rang so true
Begins to show a crack in it
As we allow this man to do …

All the things against our Creed
Against our very core
It’s time for us to stand and say:
Support this man … NO MORE!

John Lawless November 15, 2022 at 7:26 AM Oh, Jack, It would seem you have tarred them all with the same brush and left us all to decide WHO is to blame. Jack Clark November 16, 2022 at 2:34 PM There is but one who instigated all those miseries, but … the ones who condoned, allowed and remained silent are implicate-able as well. If this individual is allowed to repeat his pseudo-dominance those things he instigated will surely repeat, or be made worse. He is like the “Good Nurse”, in that if he’s allowed to continue, will just regenerate his malignancies over an extended period.
