1971 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


"Wells of Misconception"

"Hey, Mr. Nobody, save the human race
Take all of your valuables and give
You alone can salvage this world in which you live
If you only get up and save face."

"Hey all you youngsters, you got nothing to lose
The world's gonna stay here all year
There's no use complainin', you got nothing to fear
You're just wasting the time that you use."

Pro and con, left and right
Bright as daybreak, black as night
We're living in a world
That is plagued with deception
Everyone is plunging
Into the wells of misconception.

1971
