Kenneth Cheney Poet Couplet

Warning Will Robertson,Warning

Over half our country believes the bleep,
As web of tyranny over us creeps.
Cloaked as being fairness for the masses;
Freedom fleeting as each edict passes.

Right of free speech becomes obliterated.
As decent is no longer tolerated.
The delusion of by singing one song.
A way in which man might now get along.

The facts of history scream out warnings;
Which are ignored as non-conforming.
All that does not follow the narrative;
Bloviating pundits call pejorative.

I hope that none of these things come to pass.
I’m just drinking from a half empty glass.
I’m a mere poet, nary a prophet be.
But all these calamities I do foresee.

L Milton Hankins May 15, 2021 at 11:57 AM Hi Kenneth. I think you mean "prophet" instead of "profit," but what do I know? So true. Good writing, my friend, keep it up! Who is Will Robertson??? L Milton Hankins May 15, 2021 at 1:16 PM Thanks, Ken. I don't think I ever saw that show. Again, I really liked your poem, and I think you are truly prophetic! Kenneth Cheney May 15, 2021 at 1:02 PM Thank you for your correction and thank you for your comment. Will Robertson was a play on character in old tv series Lost in Space. The computer run robot would repeatedly warn Will Robinson by saying "Does not compute, danger Will Robinson danger"
