Reading Tonight in Oakland, Ca Oct 9 2019

Claude Mayers will participate at an Open Mic reading starting at 8 PM at The Gallery Art Bar, 310 14th St. Oakland, Ca 94612. Dope Era Poetry is the name of the poetry reading series. He will start with a line from Rumi linked to his Empathy Haiku 2019, and proceed from there . . .

Donald, Babbling About War Recklessly . . .

You could go on

Babbling about war recklessly

Filling up your self-congratulatory tank

Of ego

Inflamed by power

The nuclear codes dancing in your head

While we live in dread

Fearing your psychotic behavior

Your fawning sycophants

Kneeling at your feet

Wheeling in truckloads of praise

Shafting the people

Who see through your insanity

But are unable

To impeach you immediately

Before you destroy the threatened planet

Upon which we all have to exist

In harmony

and peace
