I Insist.....Tell Me... Poem by RIC BASTASA

they dream of
a well ordered society

a house with a
roof without leaks
a window that closes
and opens in
perfection
a stair like a
complete set of
teeth

a society that
flowers with hope


manicured lawns
and happy roads
without fences
exuding confidences,

for all these years
these dreams did not
come true
a fact that is hard
to accept or
has remained unacceptable
to their standards

hence, this is what is
happening now
by all means
by hook or by crook


they take the law into
their hands
make list of the unfit
and then work out for their
elimination

we all have the same eyes
and minds
robotics in numbers
and will be programmed
by:

who? by who? tell me
i insist.
