Friday in the big apple

 It is 17.53 in New York 
those who work at night are stirring 
drink coffee, shower and dress
to look their best
This as the multitude drive home 
for the week end 
The police are busy, a rich person
was shot by what appears to be 
by a charming man with a winning
smile, but was he a man?
We live in a time when many women 
strive to look like men, because 
they think men have more power
when they realize it is not, so blame
the capitalist system
Two professions are busy tonight
the police who have murder to catch
and the women how try to look 
as feminine as possible, to entice men's
libido, they are more busy now 
than ever before when so many women 
strive to look like dowdy  executives
with horn rimmed specks 
 more interested in status than love
The police will find their man, commentators 
will blame Trump and the man with 
an odd name, Elon Musk (is he real) for 
the violence caused by unrestricted 
freedom of expression.
What happens in New York to night
pales into insignificance, compared 
with a world, at the brink of of a war
that will destroy us all
Perhaps with Exception of Musk who
will settle on Mars
