one Christmas sentiment.
It’s good to be home this Christmas,
A blessing, thee blessing, ... to be sure
But the day before Maya’s 2nd diagnosis
(The blasts are back, lets try a 2nd transplant)
was the last o-happy-day of my life. ..Something
broke in me that day … and now I’m an old man.
A gray man; a cynical, carbuncled old tired old man
One who has seen the best of his people give up,
…Just live up to the Emperor’s new cloths….
Gooses cooked, ... pie in the sky too high,
@ your Congressional disposal; …Lost.
Even the great songwriters who had the
audacity to really, really, be ingenuous
about the wrongnesses of fed n state,
They, too, have ... gone into hiding.
Makin' house n grocery shoppin',
Taking deals that mean income
At the risk of heart and soul.
Because the bad guy won.
Because the bully won,
Because the ratfink won,
Because the sons of bitches
Won …and win and win again.
There are no more protest concerts.
No more death-defying songs o dissent.
With every last thin dime we, the people, spent
They bought our liberty, our homes, our President.
