Talons Extended (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Unlike the first Revolution…

this time we have to take America

back from within

Like drug and alcohol addiction

we need detox

and rehabilitation

The traitors and despoilers left

to wither and die

Too many have sacrificed

for the freedoms we take for granted

to abdicate our responsibility

to the lunatic fringe

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2022)

 

 

Insight

 

Indelible the writing…

each theme enslaves the words

The weight placed squarely on their backs

to bear the message heard

 

The meaning what’s important

four ruling two plus two

Verbs forgotten, nouns erased

—their insight still imbued

 

(Villanova University: June, 2022)
