To Take What I May II
Ah, what is this!
Another sinister lull --
Have his, "sources"
Vanished in folds --
Reality speaks
Has his stalking --
Exhausted him so
Is he cowering --
Within a corner
Has he saturated --
His axiomatic diaper
His well-known "Depends"
A hazardous coward
Afraid of the paint-gun
I cannot afford!
Is the co-victim's --
Burgeoning cookie jar
Running out of appeal
Is his victimization --
Of the voiceless
Becoming unsatisfactory
Could he ever recognize --
How craven he appears
Attacking the impotent
Hiding from the light
Hiding from the camera
Repeating his balderdash
A broken record --
Jammed into hyper-drive
An insane native --
Banging upon a broken drum
Is this temporary --
Or permanent
I think it's transitory
If it were NOT --
For all the helpless
For all the hapless
For all the innocents
This might become --
Entertaining
Given no other --
Relief,
Choices,
Interventions,
Nor justice!
To take what --
I may
From any tribulation
If it were not --
For all the helpless
For all the hapless
For all the innocents
I would live the cliché --
"Making lemon-aid,"
"From the lemon."
Given no other --
Relief,
Choices,
Interventions,
Nor justice!
To take what --
I may.
