So I took
A brown bag lunch
To the picnic
And was accosted
By some university dudes,
But my day was saved
When my Chinese friend
Went into his Kung Foo stance,
And my Indian cowboy chum
Who knew fighting
From the reservation and ranch,
So we ended up
Having our picnic,
We each had a brown bag lunch
And the Ivy League idiot guys
Watched through black eyes,
Not a hunch in the bunch.

On a midnight wave
Of the sweet memory kind
You came rowing by,
Under full blown sails
We raced for anchor
And rocked away time
On the surging, rolling
Seas.

The idealists
Caught up in the craziness
Of hate and violence
With the anarchists
And the Soros socialists
Don’t realize,
That what they
Are protesting and
Marching against
Is the very thing
They are searching for.

Where does today
Find you,
Have you missed
Or overlooked the
Fraud and the scandals,
Do you believe the cons
In the mainstream and
The social media dons
Playing at Pinocchio,
Are you in the in crowd
Of masks and distancing,
Staying at home
Obediently glistening,
Where will tomorrow
Find you,
Thinking for yourself
Or still under the spell
Of propaganda,
Totally convinced
We’re better than
Uganda.

With the Rio remanent of 92
Pushing hard
Pushing through,
Corporations clamoring
The Three Stooges
Blocking. censoring,
The CCP smiling, basking,
I thought I saw you in a mask
I didn’t stop to ask,
You know the social distancing
People pointing, squealing,
Officers listening,
It might not have been you,
I wish I had risked arrest,
But in crazy times,
Crazy things
We do.

There is no arguing
When words come
In the night,
You simply get up
Sit down and you write,
You don’t try to change things
Just write down the lines,
Don’t know how it happens
But sometimes it rhymes.

Police scuffle with London anti-lockdown & Million Mask March protesters
As kids we practiced
Hiding under our desks
To be prepared in case
Of a nuclear attack,
Most of us quietly
Wondered,
How will this help?
As adults we practice
Standing six feet apart,
We wear masks and visors
And thin rubber gloves,
Stay home when we are told to,
And few dare to question,
How will this help?
