Trust
busting
Gut
rupturing
Make
America get down on one knee.
An
embarrassment of riches
A
country that should be ashamed of itself
We
must find the snake handler in contempt before another neo-liberal disguises themselves
as the newest vanilla sheep and tosses us only spare change after being elected
the king or queen of the dilettantes.
There’s
no worry of perfect being the enemy of the good when there’s no true coalition among
these lapdog assassins
Black
men, women and children are being murdered in the streets by the racist police
and all we keep doing is the same talk until we’re blue in the face and have
forgiven ourselves for being so fucking passive aggressive
Violence
isn’t the answer; neither is defunding the police, but reforming the way we speak
to one another must start now.
Contrition
has gone up in smoke right before our eyes
We
light the match every time we say a prayer for another senseless death instead
of actually doing something about it
I
don’t believe we’ll find the off switch to our ignorance and indifference
anytime soon and to believe any different is the definition of insanity, until
we rewire how we think and feel.
