 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

My thoughts
He might want to deal with his
Fading abilities and hold onto his job
In depressed America
Stand up for the real problems blacks are facing
Drugs, gangland killings of Blacks
Disrespect for authority
Move to a country less oppressing
Like Mexico, Middle East
Africa or if he doesn't want to leave America
There is always Chicago--Los Angeles inner city
Chigago the city where the President lived
played basketball and golf
Nothing against either I played both
My playmates were of all races
Although if I went to the same playfields today
I take a chance of a stray bullet in gangland killings
He could walk through the streets of Chicago
and hope a police officer might come and rescue him at night
Think of it make our inner cities safe again
Stand up for something that has meanings for all races
Stand up for Fatherless children
Now there is a stand to take
Violence and drugs and thugs
Of all races our Veterans
You know, a tatto against harming our kids with
drugs and alcohol
The real oppression against all races
