of late
I’ve had this thought
that this country
has gone backwards
4 or 5 decades
and that all the
social advancement
the good feeling of
person toward
person
has been washed
away
and replaced by the same
old
bigotries.
…
now
something so sad
has hold of us
that
the breath
leaves
and we can’t even
cry.
Charles Bukowski 1992
