Before we could catch our breath from the first one,
the second shooting death of a US citizen
came in with the snow and ice that blanketed America
like the traumatized child she’s grown into.
Lately all we have are theories going extinct,
facts unraveling like Agatha Christie mysteries,
Jessica Fletcher in a trench coat, revealing whodunit:
Our Leader is leading us into despair and doom.
It’s too soon to tell just how far gone we’ve gone off the path
where once we proudly marched like kings to beat
the drum of freedom, the call of victory over tyranny.
Now tyranny sits in his golden Oval Office cloaked
in sycophants engaged in rampant skullduggery
while the human beings are rounded up in cages
screaming choking dying or if lucky sent to Sudan
just for trying to eek out what our great great great grandparents once did
back when we welcomed them while they broke their backs to build what they gleefully destroy today.
The video of the recent murder by the federal agents
viewed from multiple angles
chillingly clear and obviously morally unsound
makes us choose the narrative by picking a side:
Do we see what we see or hear what we hear?
If we see then we know but if we hear then we believe.
Ours is not a country made for coexisting, sitting in
the uncomfortable place where two opposing things
can be true. We built our freedom
on bloody lands of broken promises.
Still we defend our right to keep breaking them.
