Trust Ransacked

  Brazen acts, once under cover of night
    trust now ransacked in broad daylight

  Rape, armed robbery, carjackings
    released from murky lairs on alien wings

  Our beliefs torn asunder, the world upside down
    no foot traffic seen in our part of town

Daniel Turner Date: 12/11/2023 5:03:00 PM Used to, when someone said "catch and release" they were talking about fishing but not so much anymore. Good one, GW! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 12/12/2023 8:19:00 PM And I always thought it was hand grenades. Thanks for the fun comment, Daniel.

John Lawless Date: 12/11/2023 4:18:00 PM But Gershon, you must remember to "keep it all in context" according to the brainiacs at Harvard and Penn Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 12/12/2023 8:20:00 PM Talk about brainiacs. Well, I would, but I never functioned in that context. Nyuk, Nyuk.
