The freelance life

A few years back I won a Haiku contest sponsored by some freelancing group. This year marks 30 years of freelancing…and the poem still holds true.

The freelance lifestyle
Career of endless searching
That work interrupts

Oh say can you see?...

Oh say can you see?...

Reagan’s deregulations

Bush’s private war

Wall Street’s immunity

Monsanto’s rule

Halliburton’s profits

The NRA’s bloody legacy

The Senate’s cowardly vote

They say you reap what you sow.

From the look of this tired flag

I’d say we have a lot of sewing to do.
