there will be
no
apologies
nor
words
of
condolence
to
those
left
abandoned
and
dying
beneath
political banners
of
red
white
and blue
banners
littering
the ports
and
borders
of
an anemic nation
a nation
so
easily fatigued
when
exercising
freedom
always
seeming
to have
a shortness
of
moral breath
and
an unusually
rapid
heart beat
when exposed
to
the truth
preferring
a placebo
rather than
a dose
of
reality
Same comedy everywhere
Swallowing the placebo will receiving the subliminal messages on FOX.
I only wish this was a fantasy.
terrific poem – I can see a collection with these politically salient poems if things don’t change soon
Your poetry is excellent! And it looks like we both have a similar view on the country. I posted something sort of about this topic the other day as well.
