“Poetry had always seemed
something I could turn to
in need – an emergency exit,
a lifebuoy, as well as
a justification.”

Elfje: (Cinquain)

justification
wrong explanation
building plausible excuses
legitimizing the illegitimate reason
alibi

Poem:
.
stop it . . .turn off that damned TV
it was entertainment, now it’s propaganda
even football was reduced to a bended knee
aren’t you privy to the left wing memoranda
the Lone Ranger will never ride again
gone are Howdy Doody and Clarabell
no moral message, nothing but a brain drain
now, everything ends with a violent bombshell
we were warned by Orwell in 1984
social media has become our Big Brother
not an honest soul remains to keep score
time to pray for a fairy godmother
be a friend, have a friend, do something nice
good deeds travel fast with no purchase price
