The Naked King

Standing on hallowed ground
Defending his presidenthood
The size of his crowd
Quality of his choices
And his bigly intellect
Attacking detractors
With alternative facts
And grade school bravado
As millions marched in protest
Day one of 1,461
One day at a time
One day at a time
Breathe

Pops, 2017


Dark Before Dawn

Sometimes,
When driving through the rough terrain,
Not thinking that the sun will ever disappear,
You come upon a tunnel.

Sometimes,
When walking through the beautiful hills,
Not expecting the bright day to turn dark,
A storm blots out the blue skies.

Sometimes,
While cozily reading in a warm glow,
Not anticipating the lamp will blink off,
An outage plunges light into darkness.

Remember,
There's a light at the end, forge ahead.
A rainbow will appear, keep looking up.
One small candle can dispell the dark.

Always,
Be the light.
