“Lemmings
and the Cliff”
cji
10/5/16
Each
four years we can vote
like lemmings
and the cliff
attracted
to various promises
burning
straw and dung
empty as
the hollow wind
blowing
fast and furious
moving
objects in its path
itself
emptiness hot and cold
so many
irrationally choose
as the lemmings
to the cliff
caring
not of right or wrong
some for
greedy indolence
wanting
the dole forever
without
soul or conscience
when
will we stop foolishness
seeking
to preserve freedom
no
longer as the lemmings
when –
when – when
soon no
more chances
the
eternal cliff too near
each
four years this the last?
