 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

Being politically correct
When there is
Lack of leadership on any level
Adolizing The Hispanic vote while
Legalizing dope, a priority
My Veterans brother's
Who served in Viet Nam
Giving life and limb
and yet,
Those protesters
Who stayed home
Introduced  to this wonderful
country to the use of Cocaine
Protesting with a Marijuana influence
 Senators and Legislatores
Distroying Honesty and trust
and doing away with
"In God we trust!"
Because I do not trust
Our Senators and legislators
I too salute my flag
and protest
Dishonesty
Appeasing of our enemies
Sending aid overseas
while ignoring wounded warriors
holding signs on street corners
There are those today praising
Praising with false worship
the deeds of these saviors
Saluding then forgetting them
for one day they a heroes
Then life goes on
 ignoring their pain
Last week at goodwill
The Latino lady said,
In broken English
"Do you want to round off
your purchase to help us
train our new workers?'
This week she said,
"To help the Veterans!"
"I said I am a Veteran,
It was $12.39 round it
back to $12.00."
Who is she kidding
It goes to management
who thought up the scam.
They voted in minimum wages
And the false promise of health care
At fifteen dollars an hour
Most of them don't speak English
There I have done it again
Tell a Veteran you appreciate
What they have done for their country
I did not kill babies
I went to the orphanges
And helped the kids
That were abandoned by war
ignored as misfits
And a world's shame
