“How my life has changed”
“Reformation”
I wrote a poem
A long time ago.
It was full of despair
And gray cloudy skies.
It made me cry.
I then saw a child,
Playing in a park,
Laughing and full of joy.
I wrote no more
Of gray cloudy skies.
“Reformation-2”
I wrote a poem
The other day,
It was full of joy
And sunny skies.
It made me smile.
I then saw a man
Ranting in a park,
Spewing hate and telling lies.
I could no longer write
Of bright sunny skies.
It made me cry.
Reformation-3
I hear the thunder
I see the lightning
“Proud Boys” are marching,
Cities are burning,
Blood flows in our streets.
My life was changed.
There is fire in my pen,
Its ink has turned red.
That is not who I am
That’s not what I do.
For hate breeds hate,
Lies birth lies,
Wrongs know no wrong.
And contempt fosters contempt.
My heart cries out
What am I to do?
I wrote a poem
A long time ago...

Since you have been gone
A lot of water has passed under the bridge
A mixed bag of events have occurred
Leaving behind earth-shaking calamities
Difficult to quantify
As confusion like whirlwind
Keeps spreading and threatening
The very fabric of National Cohesion
Nobody knows what to believe anymore
As looters of our commonwealth
Keep spewing unbelievable theories
From two sides of their mouths
Shamelessly going back To their vomit of years gone by
To satisfy the cravings of their current masters
While citizens continue to wallow in abject poverty
Confused and traumatized
Where their next meals will come from
As their purchasing power has been eroded
By the demise of the national currency
Clubbed to death by inflation
And market forces
Never experienced in our chequered history

So confident that he'd pass the test
Claimed his oral essay was the best
He yammered and muttered
And stammered and stuttered
But half way through he puked on his desk

It awakens by blowing its top
Spewing a fiery mix,
Volcanic ash rising higher and higher
and will cover the land when it falls
People flee from its wrath
As the lava flows to sea;
If they awaken the volcano within
Will you erupt violently too

spewing semantics
most of us try to speak
at each other
wonder if we debate faiths
when we're all telepathic
