Blue State of Mind
The bleeding hearts and forget-me-nots have not bloomed.
How can this be?
It is September 2025.
The war has not happened yet.
Gas is cheaper for the moment.
I do not have to listen to a calm voice
still draping a silk sheet over the obvious
while its weather gathers at the door
Oh, happier day, while the weather gathered
So get to work on something that will not fold.
If you want greatness,
then alter the course of history.
Come up with answers that can stand in daylight.
Real answers. Real solutions.
For problems already licking at the frame.
We’ll keep the time.
