History is relative, <br />Fiction polished to truth by retelling. <br />Heroes happen every day <br />By accident. <br />Christianity means acting like Christ, not <br />Waiting for him. <br />He was not born to die for you <br />But to show you how to live. <br /> <br />And what of politics? <br />Bukowski says, <br />“such is our politics and you can have it all. <br />keep it. <br />sail it up your -.” <br /> <br />I cherish Chuck <br />But something in me, be it patriotism, rum <br />Or plain stupidity of youth <br />Yanks upward my proverbial fist, <br />For these hired hands of the represented <br />Cannot serve what they do not know, <br />And they will know me somehow - <br />Eighteen groundhog years of rising to <br />“Wake up, get out, it’s a beautiful day” <br />Has to count for something.<br /><br />Lori Boulard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wake-up/
