3 wars many earthquakes
by Mary Frances Spencer
left right march
oil barrels rolling away
like dice
fish in radiation
water toxic
air inhaled anyway
life hard
take another
pill
complacent
un-depressed now
voting for dollars
taxed with diversionary
news
sexy sitcoms
do not pay real bills
we got black ops controlling
youth
virtual time too busy to see
it’s spring
flowers up anyway
04/07/2011 Author's Note: Just trying to enjoy the Spring season and finding difficulty with all of the negative stuff out there...anyone else?
