Poem - for Sunday Muse


(Artist unknown)
(See reference below)

Where Next 

The other night I dreamed 
Dreamed a giant machine 
Gyroscope-like nonstop 
Harmless looking it seemed 

And so I climbed on 
Ride was nice, very fast 
Hold tight and look around
Perpetual motion doom 

It was then that I'd seen 
I was the only one 
riding there.  What to do 
Were there others before 

What were these giant jaws 
Open wide, swallow me?
No more time to ponder 
Jump this beastly machine 

I jumped.  I ran.  Away    
Now watching from afar 
big picture came clear, Green 
Giant people eater 

Then I awoke, sweaty 
Was there a meaning here 
To me? To our Nation? 
Congressman John Lewis?
