Radio Hate Man

The Radio Hate Man frothed and fumed over all the other people.
It was the other people that were ruining the whole damn country!
Something had to be done!-next day, Radio Hate Man's show was cancelled.

NaPoWriMo Poem #20

Memos
By Edward S. Gault

Presidential memos suggest that congress
Enact laws that
Re-interpret the constitution so that
Violations to National Security can be
Efficiently dealt with. The
Rights of citizens would
Still be the same in form, but the
Interpretation would change in
Order to protect the interests of
National security.

NaPoWriMo Poem #16

The Things They Did.
By Edward S. Gault

We read about them today.
They went to work
And came home to their families.
They went out to dinner.
Went to the movies.
Took walks.
They wrote poetry.
Went camping
-and had dreams about the lake,
And the way the moon’s reflection
Looked in it.
Sometimes they had their photos taken.
Their pictures line the wall of galleries today.
They didn’t know that then though.
They were taking their family walks
-tossing their children up in the air.
They blew candles out on birthday cakes.
They dreamed of their vacation
on the beach of some foreign port.
Many just stayed home
And played in their yards.
Some had picnics in the park
Where they enjoyed the sun on their face
On such a nice day.
Then the police came one night
And took them all away.

Photography Crimes
By Edward S. Gault

Photography is prohibited everywhere now.
Art museums and military bases are one thing;
There have always been those
Restrictions and they were generally understood.
In recent years though,
Old protections, such as the
The Bill of Rights, don’t protect
As much as they used to. The U.S.
Constitution has been high jacked. Even
Taking a picture can be a crime now.

NaPoWriMo Poem #6

Disappearance
By Edward S. Gault

Police surrounded the group, then made
Arrests, eventually charging them with
Terrorist activity. Labeled as
Radicals, they were
Interrogated, then one night shipped to an
Offshore facility. They were kept there for
Ten months. Nobody knew
Anything of what had happened to them.
Committees eventually found
That they were innocent.

Different Drum

Always speaking up,
Said No, when others said Yes
-one night, disappeared.
