David (+1)

His image eternal,

the chisel portrays

Beauty in its purest form

—but one word to say

(Villanova University: October, 2020)

Leading The Blind

Republican or Democrat,

the wool has been pulled

Over the eyes

of a nation of fools

The truth is just fine

if we get it spoon fed

In our favorite flavor

self-served in our beds

While off in the distance

an Angel stands guard

Bemused at the folly

we ‘Stepfords’ regard

And as he takes flight,

looking down at the fray

Seeing into the future…

that reckoning day

When we kill one another,

without knowing why

Lost sheep running rampant

—redemption denied

(Garrett Hill Pennsylvania: October, 2020)
