Is commerce over conscious shrewd?
Republicans buy sneakers too?
Rich ignorant bald headed fool!
4th grade my team was the Bulls,
And my favorite brand was Nike,
The 1985 high tops in black, red, and white,
Years later, older, wiser, I was a overwhelmed,
Jordan didn't endorse Gantt over Helms?
My man sold out, acting in Space Jam,
You were an incredible athlete, but you'll never be Muhammad Ali,
I was wrong to think you could fly because you cannot see.

DubbleDhee says: Love the poem. Nice flow. Very topical. And yes, Jordan has been conspicuously silent on social causes. However there is some disagreement over whether he actually made the infamous "Republican wear sneakers too" comment. He has finally come around to donating money to the cause of police violence - sort of. Baby steps...... |

Schrödinger’s cat - 1935Both dead and alive, a cat trapped in a box Trapped with a radioactive atom, a hammer, Geiger counter, and vial of poison fastened with locks Theories of quantum mechanics debated in 1935 When Schrödinger and Einstein wrote, to this conclusion they arrived The hammer brakes a glass vial When will radiation spike the Geiger counter’s dial Killing the cat, or not See the paradox? We don’t know the cat’s fate until we open the box Known unknowns, zero, one, or both, fate chose Radiation, nine lives, broken glass, poison, hammer, gravity, who knows? |
UnderstandingPuzzle pieces in an unassembled heap Flipped and grouped to form a boarder neat The frame, the start of one’s belief A collection of unknown shapes defined provides relief How everything is connected, our purpose is to try and fail Colors, patterns, and answers write our life’s tale As more is known than not, and our work is near completion Once our purpose ends, we face deletion. |
