Relativity / Arms / Boo!
Relativity
At the beer fuelled ceilidh
the wild dancers stood still
as the room whirled around
in flashes of bright colours.
Arms
American military budget about to
reach sixty cents in every
tax dollar. You’d think citizens
would be up in arms.
Boo!
Met Netanyahu and said “Boo!”
“Hey, that’s anti semitic” he
cried. I said “the Palestinians
are a Semitic People too”.

No problem; was waiting for the 3rd inspiration before posting all three in one. And thank you for the RL.

Thank you, and for the RL:
Since I aim to please I hereby I bring forth a fourth one:
3.00 a.m
The mosquito buzzed in my
left ear: I flick it
away and turn over. Mosquito
buzzes in my right ear.

Thank you - and for the RL. Dartford squeezed another one out of me {it's hot and humid here} :))

Super spill on current events
and us U.S. independent voters are up in arms but we are not as many as we'd like.
Kind of sad, right?

Thank you Tallen. Being limited to 20 words each poem keeps one to the point so I can't give my usual lecture on the history of pacifism.

You can read the lines of Relativity in reverse and it still reads the same!

Love your observations and points of view. The second stanza raises more questions about the way this government is being run and it's pretty upsetting.
Good luck in the comp.

Thank you for reading, Wally. Next week in the U.K we will get our own 'mini-trump' made Prime-Minister ('elected' would not be the correct word). And despite huge protests, millions signing petitions on-line, the false premises and direct lies around the original Brexit vote ... still the onward rise of tyranny-figures continues. Yep, pretty upsetting.
