Morning Meditation
Here at the coffee shop
I discuss capitalism vs. socialism with the young barista
I don't want to get shot for writing a poem
So I do not intend to emigrate to North Korea anytime soon
Have not travelled much as I would like to
But I have been to Israel where they just had a bruising election
which the USA will have soon
Poetry is much nicer than politics - for the most aprt
Old Abe Lincoln wrote verse as did Eugene Mc Carthy
Maybe we of the "soup" should form a politcal party
our platform will be more readings for all
Peace. power and love
shoudl be our slogan!!
