 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

BRING BACK THE FIFTIES



Once again a commentary of what
 is going on today
Reading the newspaper daily
Remember when life was so simple?
Blue Moon I saw you standing alone
Shaboom shaboom life could be a dream
I guess I don't understand rap
"Murderer the cop shoot thy neighbor"
Legalize drugs girls marrying girls
Boy marrying boys illegal gangs
For me, drive by shootings was drug control
Two week ago it hit home
This poor guy was just in the park with his kids
Two of those idiots with stolen guns
And trust me it isn't the wild west
They can't shoot straight
Wrong guy was killed killer escaped
But last night it came too close
A year ago I was at a wedding
No gang members no one even smokes
Today I read the headlines gang shooting
Man shot in his car at a traffic stop
They have not yet released the name
All I know is he was a member of the wedding party
What is happening is out of control
The borders need to be closed
These idiots with stolen guns need to be Capital punished
We need change in this country
Vote the Idiot in charge out
Bring back the fifties and sanity
