Don Fox

Every dictator
Was and is
A free-thinker
Who decided
...

My love is dampened savagery,
Exclusive and subdued;
Unless afflicting family,
One's bane is but a bruise.
...

...

There's only so much
You can do about
Outer peace.
...

...

...

People will look
For more reasons
Why they deserve more
Than someone else
...

...

I tried to write you sonnet
Full of pararhymes
And archaic phrasing
But it was futile.
...

There's no hope
In anyone,
Or anything
That merely hopes
...

There are people I wish had it better
But more I wish had it worse.
There are people I wish were ambitious
But more I wish never were.
...

I heard an old man voting out loud
at my precinct.
Old enough to father my father.
Childish enough to settle for
...

Light draws the seed from darkness.
Water from dryness.
Hope is born from suffering.
...

I think tears
Are on their way out for me.
I would be surprised
If I cried again.
...

They say this generation
Is the last one
That can save nature.
Good luck, guys.
