FALLEN

baby it's cold outside

FALLEN

Is there a breeze of mind littering american airspace

softly countering the essence of a poetic wind

calling words by the lies that live inside

churning the world around in an error filled rhyme

I’m scared by some feet that walk on Earth

free minds among them guiding their thoughtless dogma

in uneven ways

where is wisdom that guides me now

among fruited skies that shine so well

in the orchard of my soul solace bits the

forbidden fruit of tomorrow and finds a man

ready to heed the honor of our collective fallen(ness)

Good leaders are hard to find Al, unfortunately they are not accountable for the mistakes or the debts they have accrued or will accrue. And the World is very word sensitive!!

Thanks Lydia!

From the Kennedy assassination, Johnson escalating the war, Nixon bumbling in office, Clinton's hanky panky, where do we go from here. Although many think Reagan was a good president, he pointed fingers during the witch hunt for communists, as a former president of SAG, the actors union, he then breaks up the air traffic controllers union.

"error filled rhyme" indeed, what do we hear when we turn on the news each evening? What is truth and what is a lie? Sometimes difficult to determine. Scary times....and he forbidden fruit is tempting far too many. Al, this is well written and so apropos for today. Lydi**

Thanks Jacob!

I'm beginning to think there are just to many minds, all kind of minds, that live in freedom.

Yes Paloma!

Trump and others of his ilk. I'm old, out of the picture, but youth has much to worry about. I'm scared for you.

Is this about Trump?

'mind littering american airspace' lot of that going on these days, collectively we need a tsunami of sorts to clear the air. I really like this, even if you took a shot. ;)
