I once looked at poetry
like creations of views,
not political bull crap
or shit on the news.
Please let me read poetry,
that's all that I ask.
Where prompts are not garbaged
with race, hate or masks.
I long for the poetry
where two hearts combine,
and drown out the masses
that weep while they whine.
I'm sick of the poetry
that's stained black or white,
with vandalized statues
no vengeance can right.
I dream of the poetry
that covid can't smear,
yet lost while I'm searching
so desperately here.
Please share with us poetry
like Shakespeare or Poe,
not repeats of ruin
we've all come to know.
I wish for the poetry
so few can embrace,
that seek not the refuge
their own thoughts replace.
I once believed poetry
was all I would choose,
yet ink dried on quills
when it fell to the news.

Author Notes
Sorry, I'm just so tired of reading about news in every prompt that comes along.
Yeah, I get it, we're doomed. Tell us something we don't know.
Oh, and sorry that it didn't actually fall under the Fun Fun Fun theme.
