NO ICE, TY
In the nation there has been $6billion worth of crops just gone.
Most people didn’t care for our rights more than their ever so important wrongs.
This will make history.
How comfort disposed of those suffering.
How it took the pope seven hours to list all of those children’s names.
Do not even get me started…
God?
Where?
The gospel?
We’ve all lost it.
We tried to tell them and they didn’t listen.
They were more concerned with dismantling a, “leftist vision…”
Now, this is where we all are at?
Do you think anyone wants to work when there’s a target on their back?
“We had a broken system?” Hm.
But, this is better?
Right?
It always has been a broken system.
I said no thanks the moment the news broke of mocking a disabled reporter.
Still… Barely anyone listened.
How easy it is for people to strip others of their humanity?
For what?
Financial gain?
I forget if I’m not deemed systemically productive…
My voice goes unlived or unloved …
Hated even…
Because…
Of what?
This is the American way.
Isn’t it?
Forgive me for I…
Cannot bend down quick enough…
To tie up my frayed boot straps…
Before I am disparaged again...
What a cost…
They called me insane when I went silent.
Even then I was met with violence.
I’ve learned time & time again that the squeaky wheel never got the grease…
The squeaky wheel truly gets nothing but grief.
What is it good for?
May I have more nothing please?
To somewhat quote Sinead…
“As long as there is a lesser human…
It will always mean war.”
I suppose it doesn’t even matter what I really do or think.
I’m already wanted dead or alive…
From people who can barely can keep…
Their thoughts safe…
Let alone see any worry in my face.
Then they only talk about giving “grace.”
But with no real systemic change.
That’s the thing.
While we suffer…
They are just relaxing.
Yet, I still see the humanity in them.
They wanted easy.
They deserved it more than me.
The real difference between them & I…
Is that there was a time I cared immensely…
What did they do?
What did they do?
Aside from remind me that…
I am no more than my function.
Apologies, I couldn’t conjure up the gumption…
To pick up a plate today…
Why would I?
When those around me are emotionally unsafe.
I don’t want anyone to feel guilty.
I most certainly do not want pity.
I just want ALL of my people.
To be given dignity.
