some coax

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

apprehend shun

Up they massed
to the stores
where they cast
bricks through doors

as they feigned
a protest
and remained
for unrest;

looted shops
owned by blacks
no one stops
their attacks

cops can’t shoot
when they loot.

cynic-ism

What is doubt?
I would ask,
but a drought
and a mask

on your brain
evidenced
by the strain
you’ve convinced

your poor mind
to believe.
You have dined
on deceive.

Fill your cup,
look it up.

troubled clef

voices are
very flat
searching for
some notes that

match the song
which they sing
it’s all wrong
but they cling

to their path
down the road;
leader’s wrath
will explode

calling them
herd with hymn

'cause she's prim

apprise a prize

snatch for her
diamond rings,

she desires
so you may

but she’ll whine
for divorce;
“yours is mine!”
on her course

to surprise
other guys.
