 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

Was in grade school
Anything important that is
God bless America
I pledge allegiance
Mom
the most important person in my life
Honesty is right
Stealing is wrong
As I grew up
Drug use illegal
I found many of those I admired
were stealing
Politicians were just dealing waste
So today
Still hold to childhood beliefs
Doing drugs is wrong
Helping others is right
What you read in papers sometime lies
My city has become a nightmare
The Mayor has turned my city into a tent city
My taxes used to help abusers
Gay does not mean happy
Even my teachers lied
Jesus I trust in
So boys are boys and girls are girls
Those that want to change
Not my business
But as we stand at the Heavens gate
You have to explain to God
That he was the one who made a mistake
Their business but not my business
So do it without spending my taxes
