The American Way | Kofi Antwi

steel cranes rise
commencing workers quandary
a daily ritual
one enters a drove

follows. guarded like
Fort Knox, assault rifles –
trained k9s, a price
to see lady liberty

rusty or not – battered
city dreamers and
blue collar workers
ammunition-intimidation-American

way to keep up
with the Kardashian
vanity designed to divide

The Upcoming Fall Shows | Stan Morrison - Read Poetry Online by Talented Contemporary Poets

The Upcoming Fall Shows | Stan Morrison

ban golf and tennis from the screen
poker, texas hold’em not to be seen
disbar ninety-percent of tv judges
no more family spats and grudges
dude, take away the family feud
as a quiz show, it’s way too crude
for the real housewives of anywhere
the end to white wine, pulling hair
stop with the news anchors tricks
side-bar jokes and running shticks
no bland reports of government crimes
with their lies and coverups at all times
stifle stories of mass shootings spun
with sham indignation, nothing’s done
86 on prince nebula, the weather man
with cloudy forecasts and sprayed-on tan
this is a wish list of shows not to be
sadly it’s finally up to the fcc
