Playing The Back Nine
When it comes to the game of life I ain’t Nicklaus or Woods
in my younger days sometimes I could show I had the goods
Sadly, I have very little to show for my 21,900 days on the greens
no fortune or fame by any means
My poetry is my consolation prize
that I bequeath to the world upon my demise
If it brings a smile or a tear
at least you will know that I was here
Currently in America life is at best Surreal
Sturm und Drang is all I feel
With my words I sound a clarion call
to tear down these mental Racists gates and wall
Either way in my mind
I know I am-Playing The Back Nine

good afternoon Hussein this is really good
I love poetry because it's like a portal
a way to give yourself voice in an otherwise unhearing world...
it's odd that you wrote this previously
because I think now than ever it applies to today.,,
great write...

Well, it the past 3 years I have not gotten younger and hate and racism are sadly, still alive and well in America. Ty for reading this poem and the kind words.

Nicely written. The golfers you mention are total exceptions. It is like trying to compare ourselves to the best surgeon or the best pilot etc.....all we can do is do our best, that is all. Regards, Robert.
