A Poem from Janet Cannon's
|
memo to an angel
|
dear angel of death to decency
we are not ready to invite you
to define our destiny it's just that
the deplorables have swallowed
bobblehead anti-science pills
and sipped the kool-aid of rage
serum to support lies that
choke us like chicken bones in
the throat of harmony is dying
in the arms of deception is stoking
violence even at school board
meetings their duplicity is throttling
voter access as they defy safe
store mask mandates with eff-you
insolence they're refusing vaccines
to show contempt for the rest of us
here where fake is real
here where truth is losing
here where hope struggles
