Notes About The Poem

Date written: 03/21/2025

Useless and Senseless


gun
   no bullets

                      a throne
                          no king

a teacher
   no pupils

                       an army
                           no organization

a war
   no weapons

all like talking some sense into...
a fool.

and a country... no president. I really try not to hear of read anything political but that's impossible. You put this one together quite nicely, Edward.

Thank you, Lin:-) So true! You're so like me...lol. I try to tune out news about Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, even Zelensky, the wars, yadda yadda...but that's all CNN covers! Ugh.
