Analysis of A Deficit Of Action
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
Thought does not
make amends,
for a deficit of action.
A considered response ,
a poor relation,
to an honest gut reaction.
,
Talk does not dress wounds.
Repair the roads.
or grow the food..
.Reasons are like seasons they change
with the weather.
Questions now come with answers,
a set course., a menu.
Every interaction codified
what you should or shouldn't do.
Academia produces dullards..
merit no longer merited
The scum has risen to the top.
and that's what our children have inherited. .
