i asked the brown bag prophet if it bothered him that the city had cancelled the annual fireworks he said ain’t nothing
to
celebrate
this
fourth of july
won’t even
make
a good wake
for
a dying nation
a nation
with
an ever growing
body bag
count
bagging up
blacks
and
browns
those grown
and
those
who’ll
never
get to grow
shot dead
as they read
what a great nation we are
should have read
we were
and
when we’re done
bagging up
the nra’s
school lunches
we’ll starting
filling up the bags
with
botched abortions
or
young mothers
who died
giving birth
to
a child
demanded by
and
abandoned by
good christians
protecting
a moral code
written
on rice paper
promoted
by
demigods
of
greed
so please
don’t ask me why
i’m
not celebrating
or
upset
about
cancelling
a fantasy freedom event
The Brown Paper Bag Prophet certainly has a fine insight into the situation. I hid indoors and waited for the sirens and explosions to stop. Not much to celebrate is there…I keep thinking of Jayland Walker’s family… It is all horrific. In solidarity ~D

Nice phrase – A fantasy freedom event. Maybe could be a phantom freedom event.
Hmm…I’ll used that phrase next time…thanks for reading and suggestion.
