Mad Dog in America

Neville

Mad Dog in America

 

Mad Dog

punched a hole

in the wilderness ..

Then built

a ghetto to wrap

around himself

and the pack

that followed him ..

There were

of course those,

who both

feared and who

thought him

some kind of crazy ..

While one

or two others

perhaps,

had not got a clue

why they

admired him from

what they

thought was a safe

distance ..

Those one’s

reminded me so

much of sheep

I just had to laugh ..

Two shots later

and he is

still in the running

while I am

stuck here building

a deep bunker

for me and mine

and all those whom

I love and hold dearly ..

                          If I thought building a bunker would help, I would be hard at it. When I was in grade school we would have drills where you were to hide under your desk; right. Words of wisdom here.

                            My bunker was destroyed Neville that is why I normally think outside the box.
