 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

THINGS I DO NOT UNDERSTAND



It is called global warming;
It is forty five degrees June First,
It rained all year in California,
and they are rationing water dying of thirst.
I have not seen the sun in days.
My Tomatoes are wilting and dying,
The weeds in my garden are high fiving.
If I am the infidel,
Do I get 72 virgins if I blow myself up?
Are the 72 virgins awaiting the same
72 innocent that died in the bomb blast?
If gas is going to five dollars a gallon,
What do they grow in the desert for food?
And why are we supplying the weapons to kill us?
We need new leaders why are those running
the same old crew and not someone new?
Why are the first persons getting a tax break
Illegal immigrants and if health cars is
expensive why are the given it and not the old?
Oh, and why is speaking Spanish the first choice?
