Again And Again Poem by Phil Smith

Again And Again

Rating: 4.0


What is the future of this nation
In worse shape than you could imagine
Decadence abounds
Politicians are all clowns

Into an endless war a few years ago
Led by a Texan with a big ego
People protest in the streets
Bring our troops home at least

Girls in skimpy clothes and nude
Guys with many a weird hairdo
Cars are getting way too fast
Government spying is a farce

Drugs are killing our youth
Will he beat Babe Ruth
Sending rockets in the air
Think they'll land a man up there

Kids are getting very rude
Things they say are quite crude
Floods of ambitious migrants
Testing local tolerance

Don't graduate from school
People think you are a fool
Want to work hard
To buy a house with a yard

War threatens from the east
Rising up like an angry beast
My nuclear weapon is aimed at you
Oops, you have got one too

A favoured President is dead
We look to the future with dread
It's already 1968
Time to act before it's too late

Well, if this poet remembers 1968, then he has th wisdom of years to guide his statements. This is very much a political speech of a kind or an essay on the day. Either way, such things are always worth the time, GW62

I like poems with social relevance. Your observation is true even in other societies. Great poem!
