Still bothered by perplexities Still searching for some expertise In how to quell frusrations Stemming from much information Here and about...the crying out... I seek emancipation! From my self-inflicted-duty-call? To feel I must "take-in" it all? And actually think I make some change... Some "universal lines" arrange By writing "words", my thoughts described Avoiding boring "diatribe!" Apart from what goes on abroad I think of "our" own nation's fraud And, "WHERE went OUR priorities?"... Now "flapping" in the breeze? For example...might I vent Where all our time and money's spent? Not on the cause of "life" or "death" It's pot and hootch and crystal meth! It's what's the latest "clothing" craze Or some new music faze! Public servants, doctors, teachers! Should have screaming fans in bleachers! Those who work and sweat and toil For our yearly heating oil! I think I'm going to hurl! Thinking bout this mixed up world! Now THAT will take some expertise...
