Tired

When my
Opponent says
Curfew I say gesundheit.
Far too many parents
Have a child or
Grandkid who
Is an utter failure to
Launch no matter how
Much time and treasure
Patience and palpitations,
An offspring we are sick and
Tired of giving second chances
Extra time but nothing helps
But poor people too often
Behave poorly reckless
Of consequences too
Ready to destroy, all
They will listen to
Is the thwit thwit
Of a bullet end
Over lazy end
summer-
Saluting
By their ear
Whispering softly
Maybe time to go home.
Just as Hoover sent MacArthur
To drive off the Bonus Army
Marchers back-fired just
So today it will appear
No other choice to
Those who are
Responsible
Sick and
Tired
Know this
Will end badly.
So simple for a leader
To ask protestors to help
Police ferret out the arsonists
Anarchists and looters.
Blue lives matter
Just as much
As any even
The poor.
Hate in
America
Is against
Poverty not
Race or ethnicity
So add income by
Raising the minimum
Wage above the
Poverty level
And tax the
Rich.
Or,
See
Riots
Looters
Arsonists
Night and day.
