Poetry: Complaining

NO PICNIC
Five Haikus on Paying Dues

Legal holiday.
Fuel prices skyrocket;
Barbecue at home.

Drivers bellyache,
Whining as the dials spin
On the special day.

Do we remember
Sacrifices made for us
On so many shores?

Warning light flashes;
Time to fill the tank again.
The picnic's over.

Caution, complainers.
Nothing worthwhile can be cheap.
Freedom fueled by heart.

    From the Republican Party

    They lost all their power

    And have ruined the country on their way

    Complain on the outside...
    Through the spoken word of discomfort.

    Complain on the outside...
    In the heat and fire of anger.
