Poems for the Shaw on Thursday

Unions today are around 10% of the workforce,

down from 35% through the forties and fifties and sixties and seventies

                             Ronald Regan a b-movie star

                       better known for his union busting activity to industry insiders

       was elected president

and the “neo-cons” began their reign

    

“how do you know?” the liberal class scream

                   (an underperforming division of this new empire)

                                     oh how do i know?

a few get richer and wages have stagnated (politely)

                     in the last thirty years…

it’s well documented read a book

 

bukowski told me the americian dream

was never alive and even then

it still died

 

tax cuts for the rich is not an idea

for the common good

it benefits those who have ample

so as a small act of protest i made a move for the left

which resulted in an official goal

      the union was in position

and conditions got better

 

 

 

4:38 PM

i have raked the gravel drive

to an eastern inspired cabin

i have rented for the winter

nestled quietly in a mountain

the owners are lovely

he a writer and she a travel agent

  and vice versa

there place well looked after

and well thought out

for example

the windows open

to a view of a jutting

mountain i have seen before

 

Besides    

                                   i’m assisting julian assange

                by transmitting my well wishes

and strategy through brain waves

                     

                                to the

unfettered capitalism leads to perpetual war

and as my good friend john lennon suggested

              “let’s give peace a chance”      

                          

the industrial military complex must stop

                                              for that “Peace thing”  to happen

we, the liberals, evil hippies, all know 

 

A thanks

At this time i would like to thank my readers                                                           and authors for making these terrible poems  possible

especially my Korean contingent who’s faithful friendship

  has been a source of comfort during difficult times…

An Explanation

art is not in need of an explanation when it comes from the left

art from the right needs an explanation…hence post modernism

peace on earth

                     take care

                                  poetizing good night
