NEW POEM BY ZACHARY BOS

On Governor Nixon’s Advice

            Ferguson is the Great Society writ large
                       Roger L. Simon

 

Despite the bitter news we woke up to
   I am determined to maintain my faith
that hate shall subside and peace will prevail.

Be reasonable. That's all folks have to do:
   Stay calm, let America heal. (So saith
this white boy, joking when a man should howl.)

                                           25 xi 14
