poem of the day October 29 Spring tightening

Spring tightening

squeezing all

the common good

All the compassion

out of America

Tighter Tighter

each day till

the clock ticks

but does not tok

Leaving no space

Blurring the line

between lies & truth

Only focus is 

the new virtue of greed

Where leaders dance

in the golden ballroom

complementing

each others good looks

All with no care of

their loyal subjects

starving on the streets

But it is wise to remember

as the French did long ago

when the clock does finally break

there are many more have-nots

than those who have
