Sign of the timeS
Independent and antI
Gassing and killinG
Nine out of teN
Out to undO
Friendly relieF
Terrorist targeT
Helpless, can't bypatH
Evade the worsE
Try but can'T
In search of a wadI
Maybe could steM
Extreme hatE
Signs of these timeS

Sign of the times - Poetry contest sponsored by John Hamilton
Poetic Terrorist- flagrant Errorist!
While all I write feels meritless
And all I do seems perilous!
Chalk it up to being careless...
My Heart, my Mind- about to burst!
Born, was I, a Soul accursed...
A million wounds I have nursed
Still I feel always the worse
Send helicopters full of doctors-
Tell me, what is their diagnosis?
Oh! the Tests conclude I'm awkward!
(What a bleak and poor prognosis!)
*Old experimental piece
