This didn't start out as a poem about Current Events, but they sort of crept
in a bit. However, I don't regard it as a specifically topical poem.
Taliesin
I started a poem and it turned into a short story.
I continued the story and it turned into an animation.
I added a frame to the animation and it turned into a philosophical treatise.
I elaborated the philosophical treatise and it turned into a nightmare.
I dreamed the nightmare and it turned into a functional specification.
I reviewed the functional specification and it turned into a contract.
I re-negotiated the contract and it turned into a declaration of war.
I fought the war and it turned into a scoreboard.
I added up the scores and they were a joke.
