C’mon Folks

by

Michael Kroth


It’s coming like a rumble

C’mon folks, a lightning crack

And then a rumble,

A rumbling, rumble that won’t

Subside.


It’s coming like electric shock

C’mon folks, a sticker shock

And then a shock,

Another shock, the shocking shock

Abides.


It’s coming like a punch

C’mon folks, a sudden punch

Another punch,

A crunching punch, a punch that still

Resides.


A nation set asunder

Going under

Set up for plunder

Well…no wonder

Voters blundered.


But…


We're comin’ like a rumble

Won’t subside.


Electric shock

Will abide.


Crunching punch.

Will reside.


C’mon folks,

It's time to rumble.


C’mon folks,

It's time to tumble.


C'mon folks,

Punch Back.

C'mon Folks. Profound Living. Michael Kroth.

I write, and read, to connect with so many people living and dead, so many ideas, so much.
