On Virtues And Vices

Posted by agarrabrant

0

I know patience is

a virtue but sometimes it

is hard to be virtuous.

~

And anger, a vice.

Why is it much easier

to retreat to viciousness?

To Serve Or Not To Serve

Posted by agarrabrant

Who could even tell

if the government shut down?

It’s been gridlocked for decades.

~

Government Service

is a high calling for those

who know how to serve.

Reclamation and Reversion

Posted by agarrabrant

Reset and restart –

a suggested agenda

for a nation gone astray.

~

Too late to recall

our recent dubious choice

but we could not re-elect.

Foolsville Follies

Doesn’t that fool know

even allies become foes

when you grab their bottom line?

~

If those allies are

also foolish, they’ll remain

loyal even so.

The White Man Cometh

If we aren’t Native

Americans, are we not 

illegal immigrants too?

~

Now let’s split some hairs:

Since we’re legal emigrants,

somebody gave us status!

Has It Come To This?

Since he’s free to say

all these ridiculous things,

we’re free to ridicule him.

~

What is it they say –

freedom’s just another word

for nothing left to lose?

Two Sounds Of Silence

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Complicit silence –

expediency’s coin to

assuage Tyranny’s piper.

~

Egomaniacs

hear all noise as ringing praise;

silence; implicit consent.

All Atwitter

If you thought today

represents stupidity,

just wait until tomorrow.

~

It’s not the day nor

 the hour; rather, it is

our nation’s Tweeter-in-Chief.

Old Habits Die Hard

When Obama speaks,

sentences are complete. Hope,

not hate, is offered.

~

Huge elitist snob…

clearly he’s not one of us…

show that boy he don’t belong.

Time Sensitive

Promises of rain,

here in the height of summer,

buoy weary souls.

~

But a whole week’s worth

will dampen the spirits of

even the most buoyed souls.
