where character counts and integrity is the keystone

“We need help, the Poet reckoned”

“We need help, the Poet reckoned.”
Tis true, help we do need,
but tis not the help that I question;
But who it comes from & what
their true motifs are.

Don’t we all question our
Governments at some time –
it’s in our history.
It may not be openly –
but – even showing open
oppressors views; yet,
it doesn’t make anyone wrong?

Poets reckon a lot of this –
but they still would be wrong.
Politics is just a mind game now –
groups of crooked people leading
less crooked people?

We think that the leaders
know what’s going on –
but I wonder if anybody
knows

THE TRUTH?

as a poet, I reckon we need help.
