New Poem: 2020 FORETOLD


both parties have paid almost two years of rent
on the National Electoral Battlefield
so let the cable news speculation run rampant
and allow the online and print media to join in
with lots of chatter about electability
also please don’t impeach the President
because it messes up the timetable
brush away any Green New Deals
plus talk of Medicare For All
not to mention Free College Tuition
keep Incrementalism alive by
dry repeats of “how do we pay for this”
smash the hopes of young voters,
children and teens taking Civics classes
and the yet-to-be-born
teach them how the concept of Change
doesn’t mean real change for the better
instead, it’s merely a shiny buzzword 
used by a minority party
as a giant crowbar 
to separate power
from the majority party
