Ode To A Mongol -- June 10, 2021

From a reader:

"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree"
wrote Coleridge well, a poem endured - two hundred years, and will last three.

Time has flown, no pleasure dome, our rulers now decree
But we have masks, and wipes and jabs, edicts Fauci,  High MD

"Caverns measureless by man" gave a sense of calm and awe, a sense of dark mystic myths abound
Our measureless is vast, dead voters counted, illegals flouted, security routed,  run aground

The Mongolian steppes, Great Genghis Khan, the largest empire ever
Gates and Biden, Buffet, Soros will no way rule,  not ever

I long for Trump, for Reagan, Maggie, Golda, someone clever,
Brave, decisive, not for sale, oh how I wish if only

But, looking back perhaps tweren't man nor lady, ruler nor endeavor
Time frame, era , nor locale, but just a tough Mongolian pony.
