Carpe Diem #877 Experiencing the Deep North; making the coolness; crawling out and inspired by Hammish’s post: The Parade of Charades
crawling out from under every rock -politicians
politicians –
hatred and bigotry spewing
across the airwaves
worming their way through our thoughts
poisoning all they touch.
…………………………………………………..
“Think as I think,” said a man,
“Or you are abominably wicked;
You are a toad.”
And after I had thought of it,
I said: “I will, then, be a toad.”
Stephan Crane 1871-1900
…………………………………………………..
I would rather be a worm, than be in the American political arena. At least a worm is beneficial.
Ending on a higher note:
in the garden soil
unseen worms crawl
making it richer
