Poem: The Left-Right Game

by Jon Katz
The "Left And Right" Game
The “Left And Right” Game

Fear,

keeps the Left-Right game going,

and then hate,

follows fear,

and then ignorance,

close behind it’s cousins.

The Left-RIght game will make you blind,

it keeps stealing all your curiosity,

your ability to listen,

to know,

to grow,

to think,

it keeps stealing all of the wealth,

in your mind, which shrinks and shrivels

in the Left-Right game,

it fattens the pundits and the politicians,

vampire people who need the Left And The Right,

they are imbecile makers,

with no thinking skills,

they can hide behind the labels,

they stick on you, and suck your mind,

they need the drones of the Left,

and the drones of the Right,  to survive,

and fatten themselves up,

at your expense, they need us to be at one another’s

throats, so they can be important.

Are there only two ways to look at the world?,

dear people, why do you wish to stick

such demeaning tags on your head,

in your beautiful mind, a message to the world

that you have given up on thought?

Dear ones, I beg you to wise up,

Think for yourself,

keep the treasures in your head,

for you.
