Piece Without Title and Three Verses
the illusions of this government
the nature of people
they believe in what they are told
self interest,
has firm grip and an even tighter hold
did you see them?
they were in the streets celebrating
like it was the end –
of one of those world wards
crowds of people
no common sense and scant laws
but what did it all mean
the government
with its no sense of the season
and little or no leadership
devoid as it is of responsibility or reason
people cheer
and wave their flags
who knows what it all means
ask those older women and those angry dads
