The Pouring Out by Stephen Jarrell Williams

The pouring out of more political talk

Spattering upon our heads

 

Closing our eyes and bowing

Not in respect but a reflex of disbelief

 

Again our hopes beneath our feet

Stuck in the mud

 

Sloshing around in our own doing

Not knowing which way to go

 

Our land a muddy wilderness

Extending into the glow of the horizon

 

That horizon always beckoning

With the light of truth.

Not so long ago, Stephen Jarrell Williams was called by some, the Great Poet of Doom…  Now, he writes at night, enthused, and waiting for the Coming Good Dawn.
