WALTER LOWENFELS


For you, social justice

came first

fascism the worst

you tried to understand

gays and others you admit

they have feelings too

though you do try

to understand

life is profiled in history

and DNA

a personal view

of who are outed

by McCarthy

in the Fifties

take the fifth

like the hollywood ten,

Walter, Stalin betrayed you

with his gulag pen and crimes

and you not hiding the Daily Worker

in the NY Times

where no language poems

ever existed for such a bard

all are searching too

in the avant garde
