A poem a week for 2012 - A record of a year in the life of...

...el papa

I read the news two days

More carnage, death and fire

A planetful of Judah’s

A lack of Jeremiahs

Good news will never sell

We observe dismay

As loyalties are stretched

Cover fair play

Routine inquisition 

Of our goalless mission

What will we tell our children

As we justify our lie -

Relativity of truth

No testament for youth.
No way for you and I

To get by...
