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.

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???

Thanks, Ken. I don't think I ever saw that show. Again, I really liked your poem, and I think you are truly prophetic!

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"
