"Lemmings and the Cliff"


“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?
