This morning my three year old sunshine
called on FaceTime from a continent away.
Appuch, have this coffee, she said proffering the cup
Appuch, her moniker for me, her homage to an alien lingo.
Appuch is so far away, her dad gently tried not to spoil her party,
But she is made of sterner stuff. It's 'pretend coffee', she declared.
Sure, said I, love to have coffee and some pretend cake too!!.
Yeaaaah, She crooned, here take this big piece of cake, Appuch.
......
This is not what we were taught in school
Fights, mayhems, police arrests and brutalities
In the soiled streets. Compatriots, it’s never cool
To see so much blood and so many fatalities.
Competing banners are everywhere. A ticker-
Tape parade has gone wrong. Terror and horror
Got together for the wrong reasons, at the wrong
Place. There are too many obscenities in the song.
