There is so much

wrong with my society:

institutionalized corruption

institutionalized injustice

institutionalized sexism

institutionalized racism

 

Sometimes it seems the best thing

to do is to set the world on fire

and just start over.

 

But, of course, I would

never do anything like that.

Though, I might cheer softly

if you did.

 

Anyone need a light?                                                               

Election 2020

How dare you
bring your guns and your god
to the voting booth.
Take your threats
and your devotion to hate
they have no place here.
Fold them carefully
and put them into a box
and store it on the
highest shelf
in the back of your closet.
This is no longer acceptable.
It never was, but
the man behind the curtain
tried to make to believe
it was.
You were fooled, taken in.
We forgive you,
but now you know better,
so do better.
Put away your hate and your ammo
and pull the blinders from your eyes.
Welcome back to sanity,
to humanity.
