“I loved my friend
He went away from me
There’s nothing more to say
The poem ends,
Soft as it began-
I loved my friend.”

friend
bosom buddy
someone who cares
someone to rely upon

a complete story
penned by the fake journalist
publicizing hate
swayed the public opinion
the publishers agenda

Poem:
.
the haves , a few, the have nots, many
in the middle there are not any
discrimination really does exist
sadly, a lot are content to subsist
the house and a couple of cars
life’s path determined by the stars
burdened with a ton of debt
paid by yesterdays blood and sweat
the rich are above the law oblivious
even those who are lascivious
the bottom hooked on a bad drug
are just being swept under the rug
promises, promises, can we afford to keep them
while fake news adds to the invisible mayhem
created by politicians seeking re-election
motives subject to critical circumspection
prognostications made to influence the vote
did I say that, it had to be a CNN mis-quote
Soros spending billions to wreck the nation
the ACLU puppets his favorite donation
come on America, let us make a stand
let’s vote God back into our land
