Who’s memo is it anyway? *

carol f. brown


you ask me to write a pleasing, mild-mannered direct order
expecting it to sound like sugar coated desert
wanting acceptance from those over whom you lord
with no understanding at all of their feelings

perhaps with more, far more perception of their nature
than i could ever be capable of..
who made you king?
i wonder where is it written that your word is law?

oh to be so correct, so perfect all-knowing
what’s best for everyone man
it must be a tremendous burden to bear
the fate of the world in your mind
in your mind

so i write
