all that we could ever be


thirty days has september
the troubling case
of harvey leroy atwater
whose name is known by ones and zeros
that take so much
of my attention home

two tens
            twenty

seems like long time
but hate can climb
            and rove can row
the worst can grow
   and it has grown
it took the pride
of the ones who really know
but aren’t afraid to go
across the line

                          full blown

the drone didn’t know
but lee found out the truth
or   a truth
he was a witch-doctor a sleuth
suffered from hard luck and misuse
but dave baerwald told me the news

how he hoped that there is a god
that punishes
severely
now that must have scared the shit out of lee
so he tried to make a bit amend
for the liars club   all his friends
dining out on hate and blame
calling good men out by name
‘perceptifying’ reality
unbeknownst to the ones in need
but not the ones confused by greed

the hired help was all that he

       all that we

                  could ever be
