To these backyard picnics.
Under joyful Sun and eating Bar-B-Que.
Discussing world events,
After the games we watched are through.
Talking about ‘them’
And what they ought to do!
But…
I have a sense we’re the ones being screwed!
By taking daily doses,
Of what’s good for them…
Has had nothing to do,
With either me Or you!
And yet I regret…
Our lifestyles they affect!
Whether we accept that…
Or ‘them’,
That’s a bet neither one of us will pocket!
