 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan



What I learned from reality
Drugs and alcohol are evil
Don't laugh some never learn!
Mom was right most of the time
Teachers did not know everything
Jesus left the Ten Commandments
For me to learn and Mom to interpret
If I did something wrong the Devil came
I hated that Dude and his friends the pushers
In Kindergarden I learned from friends
Color had nothing to do with being a good person
The friends you kept kept you out of trouble
Gangland thugs took those on the bubble
Being right did not always win the game
But it was the way to go all the same
Not all girls pretty on the outside are pretty inside
Not all athletes get good grades or envied
At this age I am learning Veteran's keep us safe
Policeman and Fireman put out the fires
Senators and Legislators are on vacation
Politicians on this earth are a complete waste
One lady says she is for the poor and telling lies
Making Eleven Million a year I am wise to her lies
She didn't learn a thing in Kindergarden about telling lies
Just because you have Billions does not make you wise
What I am learning today the United States is in trouble
All our leaders should be studying the Ten Commandments
It was much easier to learn in Kindergarden
