Poetry: "How the World Is Now" A work in progress

Poetry: "How the World Is Now" A work in progress

A river caught fire
Due to political liars
Our American Dream is burning on a monumental pyre
Our situation is becoming increasingly dire
Most industries here are refusing to hire
While the economy is in a quicksand-like mire
Our elected leaders act like aristocratic sires
And they ought to get hit by spinning car tires
Terrorists make bombs without any wires
And the Common Man feels a frustrated ire
Wondering, "Can I ever afford to retire?".

"Got Stabbed in the Leg" A work in progress

I tried to beg
To buy a keg
Met one of society's dregs
Got stabbed in the leg
Was treated by a nurse named Meg
There goes my Nest Egg... (tbc?)
