Taking a Stand

A lament about old poetry

Taking a Stand Agianst Derision of the Poetry of Yesteryear

Impaled am I
for asking why
the inverse
verse
is through.

Rhyme and rhythm
turn me on.
Why can't they
turn on
you?

I guess they do.

You've cast aside
the very pride
that made
our nation
strong.

Those platitudes
and attitudes
inspired
both old
and young.

Oops! That rhyme is wrong!

I see it now.
the sacred cows
are far too
hard
to muster.

You first unite
and then
make light
of what once
was right.

I'm standing ground with Custer.
