Boldly by the Beard

Walton S. Tissot
Our time in motion
Things forgot
Of what we've had
Of what we've got
A New Presidential
Americana
Consequential
War and sunder
In this new year
Lets stop the plunder
I'm tired of lies
Ill gotten prize
After ill gotten prize
No avail
Sick and frail
Take back that Nobel
Give the world peace
Release and free
Our own minds
2010 is when to begin
Think for yourselves
See and know our enemies
What and who they be
Not who or what
they tell you they are
This by far
A happy new year

"When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
