Bob Dylan
gave us something
to think about
through the power
of rhythm and soul
you go your way
and I’ll go mine
Adam Sandler
made us smile
when life began
to show its
hideous face
tears can wait
Funny People
is hilarious
Michael Savage
proved to be fit
as my personal mentor
from inept to adept
he helped to advance
my critical thinking
Woody Allen
was there for me
when I couldn’t
make up my mind
over what woman
was best
Manhattan taught me
valuable life lessons
Jonas Salk is
worthy of my
admiration
the man is
a miracle worker
he saved millions
of lives by creating
the vaccine for Polio
From monotheism
to Hollywood
communism
in-between
they survived Hitler
to produce
cellular phones
atomic energy
the Heimlich maneuver
and yes even Google
Bernie Sanders
was running
a campaign on ethics
all that support
he received
was a crucial blow
to anti-Semitism
The chosen people
throughout time
have endeavored
to make a more
sensible life
out of all this madness
The world is not
spinning in harmony
but it’s better off now
after all their contributions
