RESTARTING - AGAIN (a poem)

RESTARTING - AGAIN

2010 Don Winfield



A grim future was but a fable

Of another person’s life.

Now it’s come to the table

Sure as the kids and wife.

Yesterday seemed like a window

Where man was his own master

It became a surreal doorway

Open on the path to disaster.

Madoff took a lot of dreams

Ground them to pieces small

GM lost the auto brands

And Wall Street took the call.

Good news from Obama

We’re good to go it seems

They’ve finally found Osama

But only in their dreams

If we all stick together

Hold each other to stay warm

The welfare line seems cozy

No work but what’s the harm?

Another year is dawning

Resurgence is on the way

Two thousand ten is waning

New lives for all, they say.
