Twin Fathers

Clapton at the ‘Crossroads,’

virtuoso running free

Winwood pounding ‘I’m A Man,’

his genius at the keys

Tonight inside the ‘Garden,’

time stopped as God decreed

Twin fathers back together,

—the ‘Blues’ their history

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)

Our Future Imperiled

The Genie is now out of the bottle,

and referred to as ‘The Net’

Where hackers are countries unto themselves,

empowered worldwide—great threats

Able to intrude and disrupt at will,

weaving a new kind of hell

With privacy raped and freedom attacked,

—barraged, our future imperiled

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
